Hundreds of entries were registered from a wide range of emerging market countries within the main award categories.

Mr. A.K.G. Nair, Group Director, Pearl Academy of Fashion said, “It is indeed a great honour to win this prestigious award. The building is protected from the environment by a double skin which is derived from a traditional building element called the 'Jaali' which is prevalent in Rajasthani architecture. The double skin acts as a thermal buffer between the building and the surroundings. This recognition will definitely add on to our endeavor towards the excellence in design.”

Pearl Academy of Fashion, Jaipur is a campus which by virtue of its design is geared towards creating an environmentally responsive passive habitat. The institute creates interactive spaces for a highly creative student body to work in multifunctional zones which blend the indoors with the outdoors seamlessly. The radical architecture of the institute emerges from a fusion of the rich traditional building knowledge bank and cutting edge contemporary architecture. Pearl Academy of Fashion is an exemplar of an inclusive architecture which intends to accommodate all the heritage values while positioning it within the contemporary cultural and architectural paradigm.
