What was the most important thing/skill/concept you learned at the School of Architecture?
Architectural design skills and presentation skills.

Professor Garth Rockcastle for making presentations based on unique themes in architecture, such as 'Semiotics,' 'Intentionality,' and 'Interpretation.'
What is your favorite memory from your studio days?
Sleepless nights, being mostly broke, hard work, and snow (tons of it).
Please identify one (or more) memorable design project that you worked on while a student at the School of Architecture.
Urban Renewal project of Nicollet Mall with awesome team work, cool presentation at the end of the quarter, and great review by the jury.
What major forces (such as individual architects, design philosophies, rendering styles, research methods, etc.) do you remember influencing you significantly as a student?
Leon Krier for his ingenuous ideas in urban design, Michael Graves for his innovative approach to post modern architecture, and the rendering styles of Charles Moore and Leon Krier.
Cite an example (be specific) that illustrates how you used the education you received at the School of Architecture to positively impact (or better) your community, city, nation or the world.
I could contribute substantially to Bangalore, the city that I live in and its urban architecture. One of the buildings that I designed, "Jal Bhavan," was selected to be featured among other landmarks in a book titled "Bangalore," authored by the Scandinavian journalist Coni Horler and Sandeep Madhavan. I have been able to bring in innovative architectural design ideas in housing meant for middle class Indian society. I have also been able to design and execute a few projects, the designs of which are based on two of my favorite themes, poetry and fantasy in architecture, the seeds of which were planted in my mind during my days at U of M.
