He also explains how effectively carrying out government real-estate projects might alter the architectural scene in India. He believes that conserving old buildings is the greenest architecture one can do since one is recycling the whole building. "In India, we have to produce an outstanding quality of architecture. Although more than 100,000 architects pass out every year, the quality of our public spaces and public buildings is much lower than the standard. The whole profession has to make a serious attempt to improve the quality of architecture in the country, and it is the responsibility of the profession", added Benny towards the end of the interview.
