Vistasp Bhagwagar
The author is an accomplished architect with 30 years of work experience and runs a practice by the name of AVA Design (www.avadesignstudio.co.in) in New Delhi and Bangalore. The practice is based on the principle of GOOD DESIGN = GOOD business and every project of this firm attempts to look at design as a story that builds upon the local context and content to be able to best relate to the surroundings.
Vistasp calls himself a “Happengineer” and tries to make his projects “Happy” and “Happening”. This book celebrates one such Boutique Architecture project which means the world to him and makes him a “hotelier” amongst other things!
Besides being an Architect, Vistasp wears a few more hats: he is an artist – cartoonist and a voracious speaker at most public forums concerning workspace and hospitality design. He is also an Author of a Book “Positivity @ The Workspace” that has been well received and is a compilation of 30 Principles of Design for Positive Workplaces. Vistasp is also a Poet and looks forward to publishing poetry with meaning some day!
