Arpan Vora. Profile-
I'm a fledgling Architect currently in my 5th year at D.Y. Patil College of Architecture, Mumbai. With my unique, bold and rebellious way of thinking, I bring a fresh perspective to the table. Architecture is my way to influence people's lives for the better and leave my mark on the world. Travelling every chance I get, I have gained an eye for beauty in aesthetics, lifestyle, culture and landscape and these experiences feed the design process. Not being afraid to make mistakes, I try out new unheard ideas, designs and concepts. Objective
