Some of the most creative works done on buildings and homes by renowned architects, which will surely amaze you

If you hadn’t become an architect, what would you be doing?

I might have been a sculptor.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

I don’t look at it as a job. I never have that ‘Monday morning’ feeling, that ‘going to work’ feeling. For me work is passion, to do my best and give the best.

The most unusual designed building/home by you?

OCAD (Ontario College of Art & Design), Toronto, Canada. I simply love it.

What influences your work most?

Not having any worries regarding finding a particular style or anything I can call ‘me’.

When you think about the future, what excites you?

Artificial Intelligence excites me - provided it can help create conditions for people to have more freedom not to work.

If you hadn’t become an architect, what would you be doing?

 Understanding the human mind, people’s behaviour and cultures at large is what defines a sensitive architect. Since, I am interested in these aspects of human behaviour and thinking; maybe I would have been interested in being a psychiatrist if I were not an architect.

What do you enjoy most about your job?

I truly believe that architecture can spawn varied emotions in people and to see this come to fruition from the design stage to final conception is what I thoroughly enjoy about our profession.
