Title: "Inception Tower: Where Good Life Soars"
Once, the tower symbolizes the yearning of mankind to the sky, but now, it became a cage to imprison the dreams of the people, a sheepfold for the blind and deaf. As an architect, it is a chance to recall people about those good lives.

​

• Design of a high rise building with a master planning and cultural context which reflect an architectural response to the new way of living in the 4th Industrial revolution. Advancement of digital technology, AI, Big Data, etc. – have changed our lives by many folds since the 1st Industrial revolution. The invention of hand phones and many other super advanced gadgets have given us many opportunities to reach and learn new things beyond the traditional physical borders.

​

• In "Inception Tower: Where GOOD LIFE Soars", we are looking for a Hi-Rise architectural design where its occupants can live or work, or both, enjoying and benefitting from the new way of life surrounded by hi-Technologies and super gadgets of the 4th Industrial revolution but yet, able to keep their cultural identity and good qualities of an urban community.

​

• New opportunities are borderless. Inception of exchange in ideas, belief, cultures, traditions, etc., are limitless leading to mixing of ideologies, cultures and many more. As we progress with life at a much faster pace with our new found enjoyment of advanced technologies and gadgets, we have also lost many good human values. We became much more individualistic, lesser in touch with people near us, less concerned with our own culture and tradition, etc.
