Summary of The Treasure Within
“The Treasure Within’ is a lesson based on a conversation between Ms. Bela Raja, editor of the newsletter-‘Sparsh’ and Mr. Hafeez Contractor, one of India’s leading architects.
Hafeez Contractor was good at drawing sketches. But as a school boy he didn’t do well in academics. He passed his exams only by copying.
Architect Hafeez Contractor is full of surprising and revolutionary ideas. He looks at the face & clothes of a client and learns about his habit and tastes. This helps him to design for the client.
His designs are stimulating and spontaneous. His famous designs are Lake castle Building, Imperial Towers, MP Compound Mill, etc.
At present, he is a member of the Bombay Heritage Committee and New Delhi Lutyens Bungalow Zone Review Committee.
Hafeez explains: “Architecture can give form to beliefs, and can make building into a real and arresting symbol of brand intent.”
