Making spaces happens naturally with us - we've been doing that for over three decades. Finding someone who could do that with the written narrative is something that we weren't lucky with - until we connected with Apurva. We've probably been possessive about our creations and possibly have not been open to collaborating with anyone who would not value the importance of capturing the essence/ meaning and the method/ process behind the creation of spaces. Apurva just melted our apprehensions. She was so robust with her processes that we just gave in and became a part of it - in its entirety - very naturally.  The outcome - which is her creation - has been a complete reflection of our creation. And that has been such a magical experience. Gratifying and validating to the core. To be able to bring out the essence of anything is no mean task. Apurva makes it look/ feel easy. It just flows with her.  Expressions of one's own extensions into space - be it material or matter - is an experience we owe to Apurva. Collaborating with her left us with enriched experiences - of reflections and realisations. Thank you so much, Apurva, for everything you've done for us.

  It has been a pleasure to know Apurva as a person and an author who shares the vision of critical voices to express architecture through context, vision, and dialogue between creativity, the process of making, and the people around them. I am always grateful to have her book here at the OMAH library and also to have had her here to address students and professionals.

Thank you for the lovely coverage of the Krushi Bhawan. It has been your patience and deeper discussions that led to a very detailed and meaningful coverage of our project.

Apurva is one of the finest architectural journalists in India. She had covered two of our projects, and I am very impressed by the coverage. She makes stories with insights and deep understanding of the projects. She also has the ability to write well and communicate interestingly to the reader.

Apurva has emerged as an important voice in the sphere of Indian architecture in its many facets. She has written a range of insightful, considered and articulate articles on my work, which were well received by a wide audience. She has edited significant journal issues on focussed areas of architectural writing, criticism and comparative approaches to design. I look forward to her continued leadership role in architectural journalism.

We at MINDSPACE really like the way you write. You can capture the spirit of the place and bring in a lot of energy.

My association with Apurva dates back to quite a few years now; she is extremely efficient and meticulous in her work. Recently when I was interviewed by her for Archi Times, her quality working and clear-cut homework was very significantly observed. I wish her the best of professional working.

I really appreciate the effort you took to write such a beautiful profile piece on me. A lot has been written on me but I seldom get write-ups like this that highlight the real me and my work.

Apurva, let me congratulate you for doing a wonderful job in the domain of promoting the profession of architecture and the role of architects. You richly deserve the honours that you have received, for your commitment, sincerity and focus. In the last few years I have seen you growing and growing, despite the fact that you chose to tread a path which is most uncommon and treaded by the bravest. In addition, I feel your objective writings will also help in improving the quality of built environment. I look at you as the future face of promoter of the profession which few have dared to do through their writings.

Many thanks for your superbly written article. The design of our house with so many levels is very complicated and you have written it very well with thorough understanding. You have managed to capture the essence of the house with your queries and your understanding of the details and spaces is impressive. It was wonderful for me to go back in years and think to answer your very thought-provoking questions.

Your article on our office is undoubtedly one of the best writings on our work.

Apurva’s grasp of the intent of any design idea and attention to detail is something that is rare!

It is a pleasure to see flowering of professional capability, especially in the architectural world, which is a bit lost nowadays. Well done, and I hope all turns out good in the end.

Thank you for the nice article.I like your well-written text. It is in a very nice balance with the architecture.

Ar. Soumitro Ghosh; Founder & Principal Architect, Mathew & Ghosh Architects Pvt Ltd, Bengaluru Apurva is a writer with insight.Choosing projects that 'need' to be noticed and looking deeply into them...

You have really captured the essence of the subject matter and put it across convincingly. Your style is lucid.  Your grasp of the diverse material and your ability to express it animatedly are commendable.

Apurva researches in-depth into the subject and does a personal interview unlike other writers who would call and discuss.' Her articles are up to the point and not lengthy!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you for the attention you have creatively taken to every detail regarding our project – “Wonder Wall”. The content was right to the point. The concept has been expressed the way it was conceived. All the important details have been covered and your architecture vocabulary is simply appreciable.

The write up on the house is fantastic and very professional.  Keenly read every bit of the article and enjoyed working with you on this project.

The coverage of our residence both in terms of the text and images is great! We especially like the clean layout, crisp communication and the simple, elegant graphics. We hope to keep in touch, it's been a pleasure.

Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your great piece on our office in the current issue of Inside Outside magazine. The article is very well-written and presented with flair. Thanks again

It is great to see an architect take up writing and deliver. I strongly feel we need architects in different fields other than architecture. This will serve our profession more than making buildings.

Just saw the feature on E& Y Office in Better Interiors. I really liked your treatment of the subject. Thanks for a superbly-written interpretation of our work and I look forward to sharing our other works with you.  

Apurva is one of the most competent professionals we have worked with. Her reviews and interviews have been consistently thoughtful, thorough and well written. Most of all they fit the project and matched our vision.

The overlapping of modes and moods was splendid in the profile on me. None could gather my complex personality so accurately! Many thanks Apurva.

The article on the Brookfields house is beautifully written and elegantly featured! Thank you for your efforts and help.

I really liked the simplicity of your text on the Mobius House.

Thanks for the article on Alstom; it is indeed very good and will help us do more projects like Alstom.
