Virasat Foundation, founded in 1995 by Parul Zaveri and the late Nimish Patel, promotes traditional wisdom in contemporary architecture. Rooted in decades of practice, it researches and applies indigenous materials, technologies, and crafts. Realizing the gap in architectural education, it launched the Unknown Craftsperson (UCP) Trophy in 2010 with NASA, fostering hands-on learning and reviving traditional building knowledge.
Kanineeka Foundation, established in 1997 by Parul Zaveri and Nimish Patel, fosters holistic living, education, and sustainable community development. It aims to restore ecosystems, revive traditional ways of life, and empower communities through direct interventions, technical training, advocacy, and research. Focused on alternative healing and self-reliance, the foundation promotes integrated rural and urban sustainability.
Abhikram is dedicated to responsible architecture, integrating sustainability, heritage conservation, and traditional wisdom into contemporary design. Our mission is to create contextual, resource-efficient environments that prioritize functionality, comfort, and cultural continuity.
