By virtue, our life revolves around the built environment. Through our journey, we have come across buildings that have been there for centuries. Some stand tall, oozing the grandeur of the past, while some stand-in dismay, hoping to be loved again. Each of them has seen a fair share of life filled with joy and some near-death experiences. “With age…
The new decade has ushered in revolutionary changes in our life. It would surely be mentioned as the most transformational chapter of the century.
