Press Release Body = Architectural/Engineering design is generating a great deal of
interest in the West, and India is increasingly being seen as a hot destination.
While rising costs and shortage of architects and Engineers in the US, west Asia and
Europe have opened up opportunities in architecture design outsourcing, India
architects' technical expertise and good English skills have made global majors warm
up to this market.
"There is a lot of work coming form US/EU clients today, the buildings are
conceptualized in the US, designed in India.\" says Peter Ch.Architect 3Dcities

Inward-bound jobs in architecture and design space are fairly varied at present.
From 3D visualization of malls, commercial complexes, planetariums to resorts,
helping archaeologists find lost cities and monuments through virtual walkthroughs,
the global $60 billion industry will now offer India architects big opportunities.
This could mean more coming India's way beyond call centers and the new buzzword
KPO. At the moment, there's more architecture design development being outsourced to
India as opposed to straightforward detailing and construction documentation.
Yet, industry observers feel the real potential is a lot more. According to Graham,
engineering services preparation that builds in the quantities and specifications
for the structure - are all being outsourced to India. "There are a whole series of
components in the process that can still be outsourced just beyond the drawings\", he
says. "You may even find centres set up here to address different needs like this.\"
Observers also say that five years ago, there were only 40 out sourcing firms
globally. The number has now risen close to 750. India alone accounts for more than
100 big and small companies in the sphere. Industry estimates that design and
architecture outsourcing could add thousands of new jobs in the next few years.
"From a shop of three architects, we are now a company of over 30 people in just
over a year,\" says 3Dcities India managing partner Shaj, an India-based firm that
has executed projects ranging from the Oxford University in the UK to sprawling
commercial complexes and residential projects in the US,UK & EU.
