Ar. Shirish Beri’s works, which tend to reflect his values in life, have dealt with this issue of sustainability since 1975. They strive to address his life concerns of man moving further away from nature, from his fellow human beings and from his own self. Through his work, Shirish Beri also probes the multisensory and the immeasurable dimension of space while trying to evoke a reflective pause amidst today’s clutter and background noise. He feels that issues of sustainability can be aptly addressed only through the right attitudes and goals. His designs try to achieve an inherent sense of unity and harmony with various natural and man-made elements and forces.
He has designed a number of campuses for national & regional level institutions for research, rehabilitation, health care and education, along with various other types of buildings. They have won him a number of national – international recognitions. He has been invited to chair and give talks, slide shows and conduct design workshops in various professional and educational institutions and in national / international seminars in India and abroad. Two exhibitions, a film and a book on his work have been received very well everywhere
