At the Architecture Reconnect Summit on Intelligent Building, Sustainability and Green Design (Global Business Reconnect, Indore), Ar.

He also spoke at the IGBC MP Sustainability Conclave 2026 and the CII-IGBC session on Sustainable and Green Practices in Residential Development (July 2024), where he noted that green building is not a premium add-on but the baseline every architect in Indore should be designing to.

The Lego House: A Symphony of Stacked Volumes

Interior Exterior Magazine, one of India's leading architecture and design publications, published a full editorial feature on The Lego House, a residence designed by Ar.

The magazine's feature covers the project's defining ideas: interlocking cuboidal volumes, terracotta block textures that reference the modularity of Lego bricks, a central courtyard void with Persian-inspired tilework, and a double-height living space with a geometric yellow screen. The article notes that the deep recesses and overhangs in the facade are functional climate tools, creating natural shade and encouraging cross-ventilation suited to Indore's climate. Photography for the feature was by Pawan Vijayvargiya.

Angad Kasliwal, Founder and Principal Architect, Studio23 Architecture and Design Firm, Indore. The profile is categorised under Architecture and Design and features Ar.

The article traces his path from Indore to Pune University for his Bachelor of Architecture, then to Bangalore and Goa as an associate architect, then to the University of Manchester for his Masters in Urban Design, then to Delhi for two years of independent practice, and finally back to Indore — a deliberate return to his hometown and to the opportunities he always believed a tier-two city could offer. Ar. Angad speaks about sustainability not as a product category but as a discipline of restraint: not consuming what you cannot produce. He reflects on success as a personal concept rooted in fulfilling one's duties and finding balance between professional and personal life. He advises young architects and entrepreneurs to respect their culture and the place they come from, arguing that the deepest opportunities lie precisely there. The profile also captures his views on education, curiosity, and what it means to be wholly absorbed in work you love.

Angad Kasliwal was invited as an expert voice and contributed a signed column under the heading We Must Now Improve the Quality of Life.

He called on architects, planners, and citizens to take responsibility for shaping Indore's next chapter.

Biophilic Architecture: Homes Must Reconnect with Nature

City Bhaskar — Dainik Bhaskar's Indore city supplement — published a special feature on 28 April 2020 titled Housing in Times of Corona, asking architects and builders what changes post-lockdown home design would demand. Ar. Angad Kasliwal was invited as a named expert voice and contributed a signed column on Biophilic Architecture. Writing with his photograph bylined, he argued that the lockdown had exposed a fundamental failure of modern homes: their disconnection from the natural world. He called for homes designed around natural light, cross-ventilation, indoor plants, connection to the outdoors, and materials that bring nature inside. He noted that biophilic design — integrating living systems, daylight, and natural materials into the built environment — is not an aesthetic choice but a health and wellbeing necessity. The feature also covered quarantine-convertible spaces, mud rooms before the entrance for sanitisation, and kitchen gardens, with Ar. Angad's column anchoring the design philosophy section.
