It is to open up the research process behind building responsibly, like how our Aangan courtyard house uses passive cooling or why we developed glue-free timber joinery for earthquake safety. Architecture is not just about the final structure. It is the result of testing, failing, and refining ideas. The media features and exhibition highlights showcased here reflect this journey. Whether it is an article in The Architect's Diary detailing the biophilic design of our Aangan house, or a feature in Design Essentia discussing the importance of indigenous construction systems, these platforms allow me to share the 'why' behind my work. My participation in the Godrej Conscious Collective, where I presented my 'Hyber' hybrid timber research, was a turning point for the studio. It moved my practice from purely residential design to broader public discourse on sustainable mass timber construction and circularity. These features prove that sustainable design is not just a trend but a viable, scalable alternative to conventional concrete construction. If you are evaluating my studio for your own project, these publications offer a transparent look at my design philosophy and technical capabilities. You will see how we prioritize seismic-responsive detailing, passive solar planning, and the use of upcycled materials. I believe in design by research, and these records are a testament to the rigorous approach I bring to every home, community space, or interior project I undertake. ## About SAFE Design Studio I am Krittika, and my practice at SAFE revolves around sustainable architecture that actually protects the planet. I spend as much time in the workshop researching glue-free timber joinery as I do drafting floor plans, because I believe the future of building lies in blending traditional wisdom with modern science.
