About the Mentor
Jagrit is a Landscape Architect in Amsterdam, Netherlands. As a creator, he has always aimed at producing innovative and sensitive designs, not just to meet the eye but to improve the environment. He has always believed that the experience of any space is complete, once perceived through all human senses. With modern-day environmental issues, the interventions should be flexible while focusing on the development of societies to function efficiently. On an urban level, it becomes critical to study socio-economic dimensions for a habitat altogether with understanding the technological components of sustainability. Thus, he always tries to keep people at the center of his design strategies.
