DESIGN PORTFOLIO Kevin Dalia
I am Kevin Dalia, age: 23, Architecture passout,�B� Grade (73%), Institute of Architecture, H.N.G.U.,Gujarat, India.
Building construction field always used to be my companion from childhood itself as my family is involved with this field. Buildings fascinate me from the childhood itself. With a desire to explore how science and technology, form and function can be used to improve the buildings environment - Psycologically, Physically and Socially. Architecture has brought out the separation of my personality, allowing me to engage both creatively and scientifically with the aesthetic and functional aspects of design.
The showcased work is a glimpse of what I have pursued in the seamless boundaries of Architecture field.
