A graduate from Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), he has been practicing independently from past 18 years – giving him a strong insight into various aspects of project conceptualisation, design development and detailing. He won the Ultratech Award for Best Architect in residential design for two consecutive years.
The theme of the event was “Practical Approach to Interior Design in Academics”, where Kamath presented some of his best projects and the challenges behind each with a twist of academics in it. “The talk provided the students with an in-depth understanding on materials, construction management and project execution. A question-answer session was conducted at the end of the talk which gave the students a further clarity on finer details of design” a press release by the school stated.
The Talk was followed by the presentation of AK Group by Dr. Prashanth M.A. (Director of AK Group), who gave a detailed information on the plethora of products offered by the company to architects and interior designers.
