Architecture is something I have always been interested in. I on the other hand chased this path, because I truly believe in design as an agent for change. Thats so huge, because since the day i learnt about urban planning, my life has been redesigned around ideas of "Improving the quality ". To encompass everyone, no matter their capabilities and also respect the environment landscape as well as the context culture of each place that we design in it. And my guiding principle is always, "Better quality."

I am very excited about where architecture is going and especially today technology to model in 3 dimensions and the importance of realistic visualization. Architecture, for me, has always been more than building spaces but rather elevating experiences and making lasting impact:["Creating Meaningful Places"].
