More than 99% of people living in urban areas are exposed to air quality levels that exceed the World Health Organization (WHO) limits. Air pollution has become a serious health issue across the globe. As urban air quality declines, the risk of stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, and chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including asthma, increases for the people who live in them.

STUDIO SYMBIOSIS in collaboration with the filtration specialist MANN+HUMMEL has developed this unique and innovative product called VERTO, to tackle the issue of air pollution.

THE CHALLENGES FACED BY ME DURING THE PROJECT WERE PERTAINING TO CLIENT COORDINATION AND WORKING ON CHANGES AS PROPOSED BY THE CLIENT AS THE PLANS WERE CONSTANTLY REVIEWED BY THECLIENT.

MY TIME AT THE STUDIO SYMBOLISES HAS BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL TO ME, THE WORK I DID AND THE SKILLS THAT I GOT TO LEARN DURING THESE MONTHS SHALL FOREVER BE WITH ME.

EVERYTHING I LEARNED, THEORETICALLY, AT COLLEGE NEVER SEEM TO BE ENOUGH AS A WHOLE DIFFERENT PART OF DOING IT PRACTICALLY WAS MISSING. AT THIS STUDIO I GOT TO SEE FIRST-HAND THE DESIGN PROCEDURE BEING EXECUTED IN REALITY, THE WAYS HOW TO RUN AN ARCHITECTURE FIRM, THE DIFFICULTIES ONE MIGHT FACE IN THE PROCESS AND HOW TO HANDLE THEM. THE SITE VISITS DURING MY INTERNSHIP WILL LEAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON HOW I SOLVE MOST PROBLEMS IN LIFE.

WORKING ON VERTO THE AIR PURIFICATION TAB HAS BEEN ONE OF MY MOST LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR WHICH I WOULD DEEPLY LIKE TO THANK THE OFFICE. THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT I WAS EXPOSED TO, HELPED ME GAIN DEEP INSIGHTS INTO THE WORKING OF SPECIFIC SPECIALIZATIONS OF THE FIELD, FOR EXAMPLE, LEARNING ABOUT THE PRACTICALITIES AND THE NATIVITIES IN LANDSCAPE DESIGN WAS TRULY AN EYE-OPENER FOR THE EXPERIENCE OF SEEING YOUR EFFORTS TAKING SHAPE ON THE SITE GAVE ME UNEXPLAINABLE JOY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, I LEARNED TEAMWORK, AND HOW IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE THE BEST IN THE FIELD WITHOUT A GOOD TEAM. I ALSO LEARNED THE IMPORTANCE AND THE REASON FOR DISCIPLINE AND STRUCTURE IN THE OFFICE AND HOW A GREAT SENIOR CAN HELP YOU GAIN A LOT IN LIFE AND HOW CERTAIN TIMES BEING A YES-MAN CAN LEAD YOU TO LEARN THINGS YOU OTHERWISE THOUGHT YOU WERE INCAPABLE OF DOING. THE MOST IMPORTANT DESIGN KNOWLEDGE THAT I LEARNED IN THIS PHASE WAS THAT A GOOD DESIGN TAKES TIME. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY TO BE A PART OF A GREAT TEAM, WHERE MY OPINIONS WERE EQUALLY VALUED IRRESPECTIVE OF MY EXPERIENCE. THANK YOU.
