HoD’s Desk

The design can have equal importance to the idea of internal Architecture. Professionally, things can be very dogmatic-you do the architecture, someone else does the interior, someone else does the furniture, the fabric, etc. but the design is all encompassing. We don’t think that architecture is only about shelter, is only about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to claim you, to make you think. At School of Architecture, Dr.K.N. Modi University, we aspire for out of the box solution and yet to be grounded in reality.
