Raman Vig is based out of New Delhi. During the past 25 years, his role has morphed from being a student (at the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi) to being a practising architect (19962008), an associate director at RSP design consultants (2008-2015), Design Principal with Lotus Design Studio (2015-2017), and a visiting lecturer of design at various architectural colleges.

This journey saw him designing and executing a diverse range of architectural and master planning projects pan India (including IT buildings, commercial projects, group housings, and many prominent institutional buildings). He has handled over 20 million sq.ft of projects as an independent consultant or in association with international and domestic architectural design firms.

Currently, he is a guest lecturer at IIT-Roorkee and other institutes, and a certified Vaastu Visharad from the Aayadi Vaastu system. He is also a founder of Bio-energetic Architecture, New Delhi. He is the author of the book, Architecture for Well Being.

Q. Most people, while building or buying their houses, give importance to the tangible and sensory aspects rather than the intangible and extra-sensory ones. Please explain this phenomenon.

My experience is otherwise, and possibly, you would have come across this category of people. Let's say there is a young couple who is scouting for a house. They move into a place where everything seems perfect: the address, the distance to the school, the cost, the society, etc., but suddenly, the lady says, “Kutch theek nahi lag raha hai (Something is not okay here).”

And there is no rationale to it. It is likely that, sometimes, even a male can sense this. But, it is not about male or female. Essentially, it is because we are not just a physical body. Understand that we are energy fields, and we extend beyond the body.
