Architect plays vital role to give aesthetic value to building

Chennai, Feb 28 (UNI) Architects play a vital role to give an aesthetic value to the buildings and a facelift to the structure, Tamil Nadu Governor Surjit Singh Barnala said here today.

Addressing the golden jubilee celebrations of the School of Architecture and Planning, he said the architects were the catalyst of change, who had been producing novel designs and bringing novel techniques in the construction industry.
