Passionate in his field, he started his tryst with building eco-friendly projects nearly forty years ago, and today has awards such as the International Gold Star Millennium Award (2007) and the Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Performance in the field of Architecture (2007) to his name. He started an architectural practice in 1970 under the name “Jaisim-Fountainhead”, inspired by Ayn Rand’s novel, ‘The Fountainhead’. The firm’s philosophy to be committed to the earth and creating structures that are iconoclastic, individualistic, and eco-friendly has won them laurels at the National Competition for the Cochin Stadia, and other notable projects like the ‘TAJ Fisherman’s Cove’ and the ‘Small Industries Pavilion’.
