Concept
The life is like a flow, it goes on with good and worst incidences Human being has ability to remember these memories We collect our memories in the form of photographs Saving them we put ‘Flash’ on that specific moment. Sometimes there it comes a moment after which sudden (evolutionary) changes happens, to STILL that ‘breaking point’ is called perfect example of Photography
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
In my opinion; Architecture is art of living, that we can touch, feel and experience in our whole lifespan. Since childhood we are surrounded by the roof of an architecture; which depicts our culture, our principle of living. As such my design principles evolves all aspects of life and culture to make an outcome as a Temple of Design Sachin Mahindrakar
