PORTFOLIO R.P. V ISH A L
Hello ! I am R. P. Vishal, an undergraduate student (pursuing 4th year) at School of Architecture and Planning, Chennai. I aspire towards exploring and creating new ideas in the field of Architecture. My passion has enriched my creativity and enabled me to solve problems better by viewing the design as a bridge between the elements and architecture itself. I am a curious person, always looking to learn and to push the boundaries. I am a go-getter too and firmly believe in putting my best foot forward. Hope you give me a chance to be a part of your company, which would be instrumental to my progress.
