“Architecture should express diversity and the immeasurable. There are so many different ways of looking at things, infinite ways to enjoy and infinite ways to create. Celebration means that you create your own reality. My reality is about diversity and heterogeneous homogeneity. I realise that life is intangible.”
B.V. Doshi
