Today Design & People is a global network of volunteer designers, writers and architects working towards social and humanitarian projects in India. He is also the Cochin coordinator of Friends of Tibet. He is a very good cartoonist, like his illustrious father, Yesudasan. He'll build your house and make you laugh at the same time. It's a great combination. According to Suku "work is more of a search than an expression; it is an evolutionary process through art and architecture." He also feels that he is in a learning process that he missed in the architectural education. Suku Dass can be reached at: suku.dass@designandpeople.org
