SPACES AND SOULS
Building spaces is building souls
Adding them with sweet and sours
A place for people to spend their lives
And make something that’s worth the time
A place to live, a place to learn
A place for many to mix and churn
The place in itself is nothing
But add people to it and it becomes everything
To be able to make something like that That binds and fills lives, in fact Is a beautiful and a responsible job One that I seemed to be taking on

VIDISHA PARTH
Hello! I am Vidisha, an undergraduate student of architecture in my fourth year. To me, learning about architecture and building spaces is akin to learning about life and how people work and interact. To be able to learn and design a place that would be occupied by varied people for a long time, in my opinion, would be an incredible experience. A well designed place is one that helps a person grow and also fulfills its function.
