I am an architect, sustainable designer with a passion for creating aesthetically pleasing and environment friendly design solutions on a variety of scales like the building, a complex of buildings or a community. I believe in the fact that we as architects and designers can really make the change necessary to combat the problems that the world faces.
Out of academics, I also believe in 'mental sustainability' by which I mean practicing yoga and meditation, doing some kind of social work and volunteering. I love reading books and watching movies which are either thought provoking and give some knowledge to us or comedies which make us laugh and forget our worries.
