Ajay Khanna (b.1969) qualified as an architect in India in 1994. Since 1997 he has lived in London and Cambridge, UK. 

He studied art at the The Byam Shaw School of Art (Central Saint Martins in London)  and architecture (in Delhi, London and the United States). 

After working for several London practices, including Foster and Partners and Allies and Morrison, he founded his own design studio called 'The Office of London Architecture and Urbanism' in April, 2009. The studio is currently engaged in working on international design competitions and in conducting research on art and architecture. Simultaneously the studio engages in micro-scale projects that require hybrid making processes such as deriving form computationally but finding meaning through building by hand. 

Ajay is especially interested in current architectural debate about the diverse modes of architectural representation as derived by hand or through digital means. His first book, an architectural monograph on architect Simón Vélez, explores one man's journey of hand-made architecture from conception through to realisation. The monograph is first of a series, 'New  Bamboo', that explores the work of practitioners employing innovative building materials, such as bamboo, as the basis of their work.
