Sanjay always seeks inspiration from nature. Bio-mimicry, he believes allows his architectural designs to be more energy efficient, structurally sound and also beautiful to behold. From ancient monuments and places of worship to modern skyscrapers and famous landmarks, aesthetically pleasing architecture has long provided inspiration for him.
