Vastu
Design Studio is the result of years of research and the pioneering practice
of Sthapatya Ved in architectural design by Deepak Bakshi. President of
the firm, Deepak Bakshi has designed buildings with Sthapatya Ved for
almost two decades around the world. In the last decade his focus has
been on incorporating non-toxic materials into construction, and renewable
energy sources like solar power and wind generator to make the building
energy self-sufficient. This initiative has won widespread acclaim. In
1994, his design won state recognition from Iowa Governor Terry Branstad
for its energy self-sufficiency. Deepak Bakshi is also a pioneer in being
one of the first designers to use earth block, a block made from compressed
earth. From 1968-1971 Deepak Bakshi studied at the Ahmedabad School of Architecture in India. From 1975-1980 he completed his bachelors and masters degree in architecture at the Royal Institute of Architects at the University of Westminister in London. During this time, he did a two-year thesis on Sthapatya Ved. Since 1973, he has worked with Sthapatya Ved principles and designed over seventy residences, four temples, light commercial buildings and a 70 acre community project for TM. In 1999, Deepak Bakshi saw the arising interest to learn Sthapatya Ved home design, and published the Sthapatya Ved tutorial. A four part browser-based multimedia tutorial that allows you to design your own custom home with Sthapatya Ved. It was the first time in the history of the world, that you could learn Sthapatya Ved from a CD. |
