G. Shankar Narayan is an architect with a practice in Hyderabad for the past 25 years. His firm ‘Shankar Narayan Architects’ is known for their innovative design, eco-sensitive construction and professionalism. With works ranging from the city's main Railway Station to an Animal Shelter for a small voluntary organisation the practice has deliberately resisted specialization in any one genre of buildings, because as architects they feel it is their mandate to deal with human shelter in the largest sense of the term. They shun gimmicky designs and rely on the fundamentals of scale, proportion, light and honest use of materials to create spaces and forms in which Man feels an eternal sense of belonging.
