Aarthi, a Class 11 student of Isha Vidhya
Salem, was drawn to architecture and
interior design during a school field trip
to the Airavateswara temple at Tanjavur,
Dharasuram, a few years back.
She says, “I was impressed by the
intricate designs on the walls of the
temples and thought I should pursue
this as a career.” She then began browsing
the Internet and was amazed by the
temples at Mahabalipuram. This cemented
her desire to study architecture.
Aarthi has been a class topper and has
also won prizes in throw ball and tennikoit
at the zonal level. She says that her teachers’
encouraging words, “You can do it, you
have such good skills,” inspire her to do
well in academics.
She aims to do well in Class 12 and gain
admission to Anna University, Chennai,
and become an architect with innovative
styles for common good. She also wants
to build low-cost housing for the poor.
