ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO
AKASH LUHANA 1
Hello My name is Akash Luhana. I am a fourth year undergraduate architecture student at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. A keen observer and an active explorer, who loves to travel through uncharted waters. I am intrigued by the design of things around me and how it shapes the thought process of an individual. I am always motivated to learn new things and try to subtly go out of the box. The following is the collection of my academic projects till now, that reflects my passion for architecture and design.
