The need of the hour is to understand the essence of designing a strong infrastructure development plan by keeping innovation in the forefront. In this progression, architects, designers and builders will play a crucial role to retain the heritage architecture in structures to be built and infuse the element of innovation in the upcoming building structures. The city ought to reflect pure blend of its heritage and urbanization." |
