Much enjoyed by the audience was the impromptu questioning by Jimmy Mistry of his fellow professionals on the whether the Indian designers were given the due recognition in the country. The theme of the plenary session of the evening was “Design & Marketability – An Irresolute Relationship”.

Reza Kabul, Founder, ARK Reza Kabul Architects, Ashish Shah – COO, Radius Developers; Ar. Shekhar Patki, Principal Architect, PG Patki Architects; Ar.

Zubin Zainuddin, Co-Founder & Partner ZZ Architects. The panellists put forward their views on role of an architect in a project development. The speakers agreed that the combination of synergy of a developer and the designer were a must to achieve a marketable project. Also discussed was the need of foreign design professionals in India due to the lack of global exposure among Indian design firms, though their name associated with a project was not a deciding factor for the buyer. All agreed that the Indian architects were apt for project planning & design as they understood the Indian way of living. The homebuyer too only wants a quality and value for money product. They also deliberated on the new design trends and changing buyer’s preferences & buying patterns.
