I had the wonderful opportunity to interact with the most famous "Star" Architect (Starchitect) of India - Mr.
Hafeez Contractor for our new project at Kolkata.

| One of the design workshop sessions at his office |
I had met him almost 26 years ago when I was an architecture student. He had given a presentation of his works at the Young Architects festival at Nagpur in 1997.
Hafeez is a versatile and extremely talented Architect...He is extremely commercial and loud in his approach and hence not very much liked by purists. You can love or hate him..but you can not ignore him. He has designed some of the most notable buildings in India. There is no denying the fact that he is an ikon in the construction industry.
