PHILOSOPHY

Strongly feels that post independence architecture in India was triggered by architects like Louis Khan & LE Corbusier who were not architects and thus do not refer our traditional values.
Prefers more open spaces as most activities in the country are performed in courtyards , streets or open spaces . Very much concerned to issues like economy, climate , traditional aspects etc. Working in hot dry climate he realized that open planning not only achieves economy in space utilization , economy in structure design , economy in overall building expenditure but a meaningful solution to building in such a climate he thus preferred open planning. An architect possesses a strong conviction of theory and design.
