A strong believer in the ability of the research combined with design thinking for strengthening our societies. My focus consists in architectural design principles, patterns and practices.

Architecture, especially about building design with efficiency energy concept. Then Urban design, especially about, sustainable living in urban settlement and green open space to improve thermal comfort in a city. Now, I'm trying to collaborate with IT expert on a smart tourism research.

According to me - 'Teaching, is a continuous learning process!'Teaching happened to me by chance early in my career, but the satisfaction that came with it made me take it up as my full time career. I have been part of Faculty of Architecture, Dr.M.G.R Educational and Research Institute, Chennai, INDIA., since 2011. I have approached my design studios in collaborative, exploratory, experimental and interdisciplinary ways. Participation in national & international competitions has been a regular activity for my students to constantly understand where they stand among their peers globally as well as nationally. Spatial design responsive to senses and responsible to environment has been my guiding design philosophy. I am currently pursuing my doctoral research in Architectural Pedagogy. My other interests are Learning spaces, Vernacular interiors, Sustainable interiors, etc. Students under my guidance have won 3 international awards (Organised by AIA Austin, Appio Spagnolo), 3 national awards (DDA, Ethosempowers) & 2 national short listing (Council of Architecture India, AYDA Nippon).

Sustainability applications on architecture and urban levels of spatial planning. Climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.

I have been influenced by different kind of architecture since I had possibility to study and to work around the world. I like to cook and cooking, like architecture is a manifestation of the capacity of the human spirit to transcend its limitations. My work mainly reflects natural processes between nature, eco sustainable and human development.

My architectural focus is born from the sensations generated by a space. Whether open or closed, the interior and exterior factors are ordered and controlled by the design generating a particular atmosphere. The architecture must transmit something, and that something is decided by the architect, when it is relevant and well executed it becomes a great design.

My architectural focus relies on exceeding clients expectations and goal achievement through creativity, ease of process and value.

Articulation of design as an expression of architectural spatial experiences in multidisciplinary projects.
