The Principal Architect
Deeksha Sharma
An architect and heritage management professional by training and a self proclaimed artist, Deeksha is a designer whose body of works spans multiple themes.
In her own words, the project closest to her heart so far has been the work she has done at the Red Fort in Delhi: creative project management of the restoration and design of a world class visitor centre within a 150-year-old barracks inside the Red Fort World Heritage Site complex. She says “managing the restoration, museum design and narrative, and execution of an adaptive reuse project within the precinct of a world heritage site, has been my biggest challenge as well as pride.”
In the past, Deeksha has also managed urban scale heritage-led redevelopment projects like the HRIDAY projects at Ajmer, and led the design and redevelopment of several museums like the Fateh Prakash Palace Museum at Chittorgarh, the Albert Hall Museum at Jaipur and the Rajasthan State Archives at Bikaner.
In her early years, Deeksha has also trained with award winning Indian architects like Pradeep Sachdeva and Shikha Jain, as well as at international industry leaders like the National Trust.
Deeksha holds a Bachelors degree in Architecture from MIT, Manipal Academy for Higher Education and a Postgraduate degree in International Heritage Management from the Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage at the University of Birmingham.
