WHO I AM
Architect. Entrepreneur. Traveller.
I am Syed Asim, an architect and entrepreneur from India. I have travelled across 31 countries, returning to several places to experience them with a new point of view.
My interest extends beyond landmarks. I study streets, hotels, materials, local craftsmanship, furniture, public spaces and the way people live inside a city.
This website is my personal record of those observations.
Design
Reading architecture, materials and spatial choices through professional experience.
Perspective
Returning home with ideas that improve how I think, work and create.
