ABOUT ME: HI, MY NAME IS FEBIN THOMAS. I AM A GRADUATE FROM MANIPAL ACADEMY OF HIGHER EDUCATION, DUBAI CAMPUS. I AM A YOUNG AND ASPIRING ARCHITECTURE GRADUATE WITH AN INTEREST IN SUSTAINABILITY, VERNACULAR AND HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND RESEARCH. I BELIEVE THAT KNOWLEDGE DRAWN FROM CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE, VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE AND HISTORIC STUDY SHOULD BE ANALYZED AND INCORPORATED TO MODERN BUILDINGS TO BRING BACK AESTHETICS AND MODULARITY. APART FROM ARCHITECTURE I AM ALSO A GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER WITH PHOTOS PUBLISHED IN GULF NEWS AND OTHER DAILY’S. I HAVE A GOOD EYE FOR DESIGN AND AM ABLE LEARN NEW SKILLS AND FIND SOLUTIONS FOR EXISTING PROBLEMS WITH EASE. I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY PORTFOLIO WHICH DEMONSTRATES MY DESIGN POTENTIAL AND OTHER TALENTS.
