Almost a decade in this profession inculcates an endless passion for architecture in me. Being an academic in such a versatile field is an indication of my faith that drives my keen sense of exploration. Architecture fascinates me, both as an evidence of creativity as well as an innovative solution to design challenges. The cross-fertilization of human creativity and technology has produced endless opportunities in the field architecture. I am beyond passionate to transfer this mastery of architecture, an ability to design holistically a safe system within realistic constrains such as economic, environmental, ethical as well as sustainability. My aim is to equip the future generations to emerge as innovative architects with the sensitivity of culture and context.
