RESUME What started of as a childhood fascination of playing with my father's drafting instruments turned into my passion of becoming an Architect to use them. This passion led me to explore my inherent skills of creating & designing. Taking up Architecture gave me a new line of thought of using my skills to express my ideas efficiently & pursue the art with passion. Acquiring a strong design sense through my academics, sound technical skills whilst working on a vivid set of projects as an Architect and teaching Architectural History has pushed me to explore the academic framework again to further my knowledge on Architectural Conservation. Needless to say, that architecture taught me a new way of learning and unlearning things. This act of progressive self-learning has helped me explore architecture on diverse lines, thus allowing the learnings influence my designs and in turn, their contexts.
