In 2025, what stands out is which firms are at the very top of the game when it comes to what they are doing with the urban landscape, and also how they are including tech in what they do and pushing the bar on design. Also, I will introduce the top 10 architecture firms that are at the forefront in Bangalore.

From eco-sensitive and tropical modern structures to very luxurious design and community-based planning, each player brings to the table a different point of view, which in turn shapes the city’s development. Also, it is their personal interests which play a role in their body of work, thus we see great architecture is a result not only of technical ability but of curiosity, imagination and continuous growth.
