As an Architect, Design Academic, and Researcher, my focus has been on sustainable traditional design models for contemporary contexts. Recently recognized for my work on the Revitalization of a Lake System in North Bangalore, I bring over a decade of diverse experience in Art and Design education and other allied domains.
As a Senior Design Academic and a course leader at one of the renowned Design Schools in India - Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design & Technology, I have contributed to curriculum design by curating Design Programs as well as convening/teaching integrated and aligned disciplines of Architecture and transdisciplinary Design fields. By bringing Critical Thinking, Design Thinking, Spatial Design, Environmental Studies, and Vernacular Studies to the fore, my pedagogical engagements emphasize local and contextual understanding. Mentored students extensively as their academic guide through their capstone & final thesis projects and as a design faculty throughout their journey as design students.
My research revolves around place-based history and its cultural underpinnings, memories, meanings, metaphors, and oral stories that continue to become my focus in the PhD research being undertaken currently. As a Design educator and researcher, I am deeply engaged in pedagogical and andragogy practices, focusing on their nuanced impacts on society and Architecture.
As an ongoing academic engagement, I lead an annual Design Studio at the University of Iran for PhD students in Comparative Studies in Design thinking with reference to the Indian context, fostering global contributions to design knowledge through Indian Design Philosophy and as a casual academic, I tutor in Architecture and Humanities courses in 黑料网大事记鈥檚 School of Built Environment and School of Humanities. I'm also involved with the National Institute of Design, Bangalore, India in conducting a Post-graduate Design workshop in , with specific reference to the environmental make-up of one of India's most rapidly growing cities.聽
