Ashish

Ashish Bhandari is an Architect and Designer based in Detroit, MI. Ashish was born in Kathmandu, Nepal but grew up in the United States and has spent time in Canada. Ashish believes architecture is one of the many things that gives the past a continuity to the present. No empty monuments, these buildings are actively used and inhabited by people. The relationship between architecture and the connections it enables to society, to culture, even to ghosts of the past is what interests him about architecture. Architecture is not merely building to shelter, but in fact it acts as a social mixing device where people from different ethnicities and cultural background can come together as one. Architecture acts as catalyst for social interaction. How this happens, what the dynamic is between form and behavior, between the collective and the individual drives his desire for continued research. He is also an amateur photographer and blogger. Throughout his career Ashish has published some of his work and won various fellowships and project grants. Ashish is currently an adjunct faculty member at Lawrence Tech University.

Ashish holds a Masters in Architecture from the University of Michigan and is an amateur photographer.
