Rajasthan School, Rajasthan, by Sanjay Puri Architects
Sanjay Puri Architects designed a series of shaded walkways around this school in northern India to shelter pupils from the desert climate that has a temperature above 35 degrees Celsius for most of the year.
The school's walkways and walls are coloured deep red to contrast with its blue and yellow interior spaces.

Nandyal Temple, Andhra Pradesh, by Sameep Padora & Associates
Architecture studio Sameep Padora & Associates designed this Hindu temple complex for the village of Nandyal from stacked local black limestone slabs to be a modern take on traditional temple forms. "More than the temple being different from its predecessors, I think it's more like a variant," said studio principal Sameep Padora.

Residence 1065, Chandigarh, by Charged Voids

It has a concrete frame and a curved concrete roof reminiscent of the nearby Palace of Assembly, while a double-height prayer room occupies a white turret.
