Architecture is a process of analyzing and providing a solution to the basic needs of
human beings, where the metaphysical as well as the physical form gets upgraded. It provided me with
an opportunity to know and understand different people, cultures, and their expression and explore
various facts of life. Architecture is the dynamic tool that possesses the calculative and the imaginative
values as a whole. At a personal level I am interested in pursuing research with a detailed analysis of
the affecting parameters to arrive at their solution. I have been specializing in working with teams over
large multinational projects, especially skyscraper, residential, interiors, services and organization of
work cultures.
