About me
I am Vidisha Kumar, a passionate student with a steady heart, for art and architecture. I see architecture as a tool to brigthen a child's day, make an adult's life, a little better and provide solace to the aging. It possesses the power to inspire generations and caters to all, with ambition. With resolute determination, I am committed to crafting spaces that bring a paradigm shift in the society and to make the world a beautiful place to live in.

Art in its various forms has played a very important role in my life. I believe that art, when displayed properly, can send a message that even words might not be able to convey. A good and strong illustration, poster, artwork, or logo can go a long way to people’s heart.

In architecture, form generation refers to the process of creating and defining the shape of a building or a structure. It is important because the form of a structure not only influences its aesthetic appeal, function and cultural significance but also affects factors such as energy effeciency, structural stability and accessibility.
Digital art has assumed a pivotal role in contemporary society, demonstrating its capacity to establish the ambiance of an occasion, influence ideologies, and galvanize transformative movements. Within the realm of design, the judicious selection of a harmonious color palette and a well-defined conceptual framework is imperative.
