JURY

As an Architectural Designer, I am drawn towards holistic designs that cultivate positive changes in the built environment. I believe in the ability of architecture, research and critical design thinking to create a better world. I have been blessed to involve with wide varieties of projects from commercial, public, residential architecture to art installations which shaped me into a skilled, thoughtful and conscientious designer.

I'm an architect and urban designer with a special interest in sustainability. My award winning thesis project titled Eco-skyscraper done in 2011 has been published in 5+ print and 50+ digital publications. It was also exhibited at Degree & Profession Virtual Expo, Florence, Italy. I also delivered two TEDx talks about climate responsive architecture and sustainable design. I founded Rethinking The Future in 2012 with the mission to bring out the most innovative designs from across the world to the forefront, and today it is amongst the leading architecture and design platforms worldwide.

As an architectural academician, my endeavour is to initiate the students into the field with definitive focus on traditional built forms and at the same time keep fpace with the technological trends. they need to sensitise themselves to the needs of the user groyups and provide contemporary solutions to their vclients.

Empathy in design approach. Data driven design approach. Building materials and their technology,Landscape urbanism, critical regionalism.

Our design approach has followed a similar guideline whether we design a residence, a commercial space or an interior facility. The climatic parameters have always been the starting point. Our philosophy, especially in residential design (primarily in hot and humid Indian conditions), has increasingly been governed by improving the indoor comfort condition through natural means.
