2012 MY ARCHITECTURAL JOURNEY... A gist
YEAR 1, 2012 I started my five-year Bachelor’s degree in architecture. I was a semi-professional musician with an interest in human behaviour and keen to understand how spaces connect with musicality and aural sense.
YEAR 2 TO 5 A struggle at first but I caught up soon enough. Comprehending what ‘form follows function’ and ‘less is a bore’ meant, I worked hard at my part-time internships. From T.H.E. Workshop to Urban Frame - every year brought in a new learning experience.
2021 2017, GRADUATION AND WORK Baby steps never fit my approach towards architecture. Whilst I practised as an Architect in India for 3 years, I also undertook the role of a Research Associate with The Centre for Conscious Design and Byfoot. Debates and panel discussions on our role in shaping the built environment kept me constantly engaged and motivated. I have always juggled between theory and practice - the line where I can make sense of my work as a designer.
2020, SHEFFIELD Collaborating with professionals across industries, I realised that what I knew of the impact of our designs was minimal. This brought me to where I am now, In Sheffield, pursuing a masters in Sustainable Architecture Studies. I hope to take this experience further, leaning towards designing built environments that engage with the everyday life of people.
