  1. This project is not designed by DFI. The original concept and winning entry was submitted to Delhi PWD by a JV between Mathur and Kaprey Associates, Design Business Collaborative LLP and B&S Engineering Consultant. Here is the link of the presentation:

Vivek Rawal argues that architecture—as a profession—is structurally aligned with political and economic power rather than social justice.
