Vastu Shilp Consultants, Ahmedabad, India, Intern Architect

It was an honor to be intern under B.V. Doshi - Probably the most renowned architect in India. We worked on a local design competition for Bhadra Fort - an ancient courtyard of the city Ahmedabad.

- It was very initial phase of my architectural career and I accepted whatever I got to learn. I was shadowing Dr. Doshi and learn everything he had to offer including philosophy of architecture, humble design, and consumer oriented designs not developer oriented.
