About Principle Architect
Architect Mohan Raj started PURISM ARCHITECTES in 2012.
Ar Mohan Raj says, “I as an Architect, licensed professionally trained in art and science of building design, where I can develop the concepts for structures and turn those concepts into reality”.
I graduated from Arulmigu Meenakshi Amman College of Engineering in 2007. And I gained experience from Architecture firms from Delhi, Bangalore and Coimbatore.
And by 2012, I started to pursue my dreams as an Principal Architect for Purism. My very first project was through contractor, it was 3BHK Residence in Tiruppur. My client supported me well, he was even more interested by letting me use of different materials in construction field like exposed concrete design structures, 10 feet height windows.
Creative Designs were made out of simple materials, energy efficient, climate based study for the site and wind catcher. I started to set milestones for achieving my goals, as setting milestone I started to break down my larger goal into smaller goal that I felt achievable and still achieving.
Later, as a Purism Team, we started to add more creative Designs from Normal Designs. We play with natural Ventialtion using different materials and finishes. Most of our works are done in Tiruppur, as people visit my clients residence they liked my work of design and our work created the recognition among Engineers and Business Associates.
“God is in the Details” – Mies van der Rohe. Building needs to designed in context to the surrounding environment along with “form based Function” theme. My First project was completed in Tiruppur. Mr. Senthil Residence is one such project where I have put my completed interest, knowledge and love to complete it. Later, I received appreciation along with start for next project.

PURISM
An early 20th-century artistic style and movement founded by Architect Le Corbusier and the French painter Amédée Ozenfant (1886–1966) and emphasizing purity of geometric form.
It arose out of a rejection of cubism and was characterized by a return to the representation of recognizable objects. Purism reduced subject matter to the relationships of its geometric angles and shapes, further emphasized through color toward a unified effect. These “pure“ forms were composed of their intrinsic qualities and absent of any representational meaning. This infiltrated all aspects of the arts including painting, design, and architecture.
