Teaching

Educating the next generation of architects and planners.

Teaching Pedagogy

With diverse practice and research activities, my teaching pedagogy stems from a trans-multi-disciplinary focus around the built environment. Teaching is a lifelong passion that enables constant learning through active sharing.

"The co-learners range from senior professionals and university graduates to school children, emphasizing collective action and public interest."

Collaborations and teaching engagements include prestigious institutions such as:

CEPT University, Ahmedabad
NID Gandhinagar
TISS Hyderabad
Ostrom Workshop, Indiana
