At the age of 14, Number migrated to the United Kingdom and since then he’s been living there. He obtained his Mechanical Engineering honours degree from the University of Portsmouth. Since his childhood he had a strong inclination towards music. While at boarding school in Nainital he was the part of school choir. When he came to the UK his love for music grew more and more. He began gathering all kinds of music instruments and machines. What started out as a hobby later became his passion. This passion inspired him to release his own songs and as a result of which music lovers got two songs from him. ”Reboot” and ”El Groove” which were both very well received. This positive response from music lovers drove him to be more serious about music. When talking about his passion he says,”i believe that music finds it’s way to where it is needed. My own music compositions and lyrics have kept me afloat through some tough waves. I like to make music wherever and whenever i find inspiration. At the moment my past two releases can be classified as a mix of Pop and Rap in an Indian format and i am very happy with the response to my songs”. Although he is away from India, but Number is well connected with Bollywood music. When asked about the current musical scenario of Bollywood he said , “Bollywood is a home to many of the world’s greatest singers and composers. I think there is a wave of nostalgia going through at the moment as Bollywood is flooded with remix songs. Most songs from the golden days of the entertainment industry are being remixed to serve the interests of the youth today. Remixes are nice and remind us of the talent that helped shape Bollywood into what it is today but i feel there is a space and need for something new and more. Good music will always be loved by all ”. He also watches music based reality shows regularly. Giving his opinion about reality shows he says,”i have never actively participated in any musical or talent related reality show.but i like watching them and i think there is too much untapped talent in India and reality shows are a good platform for such talent”....

Brookfield Properties creating a work destination, inspired by history and designed for the future

Tower 11 at Candor TechSpace, Sector 135, Noida product feature and a Walkthrough Video  National, 1st July 2021: Workspaces constitute 70{61307dbfb632870ba326f6322853bd3ffea5b163e9c789324eea2723926c15c1} of a working individual’s day and subsequently is directly related to their well-being. Therefore, we must rethink and redefine our design ideologies that shape the workspaces of tomorrow. Incorporating local architectural language into buildings has fostered a sense of belonging, enhanced comfort in the built environment and encouraged community building. As most organisations strive to create landmark architecture, this has made it essential for global institutions and organisations to contextualise the built environment as they develop campuses worldwide. For instance, the recent Taj Mahal inspired office built by Microsoft in Noida has set the precedence for this very ideology. As most workforces now prepare themselves to return to the office, Noida’s biggest and finest workspace, Candor TechSpace Sector 135, will soon have a new addition to its expansive campus that creates a distinctive landmark. “Candor TechSpace’s Tower 11 brings workspaces that abide by international standards while celebrating, utilising and contemporising historical and architectural design knowledge. Tower 11 will create a work destination that blurs the line between a workspace and a place of wellbeing and community with enhanced productivity and creativity,” shares Alok Aggarwal, Managing Director and CEO, Brookfield Properties. The design for tower 11 draws spatial understanding and syntax from local architecture and embedded space making techniques from multiple monuments such as the India Gate and the Taj Mahal to create a contemporary and future-ready office building. The new addition will offer workspaces that revolutionise and redefine how we perceive our work environments. Contemporising materiality that is rooted in tradition.  Image 1. The Tower 11 executive entrance façade. An amalgamation of brass and black mirror details to exuberate regality and monumentality. Tower 11 is an amalgamation of symbolic as well as physical derivations of regional architecture that are contemporised for functional efficiency and maximum performance. For instance, the form of the building is inspired by the volumetric characteristics of the India Gate. The two-building volumes have been articulated as two distinct elements united by a core and a striking façade in the central axis. The facade recreates a contemporary adaptation of the triumphant arch of the India Gate, that embraces with regality and through its form recreates the opulent yet welcoming aesthetic. On the one hand, detailed in dark glass panels and brass, the facade with its regal tonality recreates a sturdiness like the carved stones of...
