ARCHITECTURE DESIGN PORTFOLIO
Ar. PRAJAKTA N. BARDE
OBJECTIVE
Being an architect, I was always interested in contemporary design.
While studying Bachelor’s degree, I could learn different toolkits and design strategies of architecture.
Throughout the period, curiosity and analytical thinking helped me lear different aspects of designing through reading, excursions and seminars as well as I could implement the knowledge in the field.
Now, I would like to use my knowledge and get practical experience as an Architect.
