Architecture News - Apr 25, 2008 - 10:11   9169 views

There must be very few countries in the world where  architects have such varied challenges as we have in  South Asia today. Our involvement ranges from  upgradation of slums to large corporate and  public buildings, from low income housing  to the restoration of magnificent  vernacular and colonial buildings.  Wonderful, exciting and fulfilling tasks  that span our careers and  take us from being hi-tech professionals  to barefoot architects.
