Talks and Collaborations on Sustainable Design
I share my research on material innovation and sustainable practices to build a community committed to a greener future. Explore these insights into my design process.
This promotional video highlights the urgent need for sustainable construction, noting that 37% of global CO2 emissions are caused by the industry. It served as an introduction to my work with hybrid timber at the Conscious Collective event.
A promotional image for my talk at Conscious Collective 2023. I believe the materials we choose define our spaces, and it is my mission to rethink materials to create a more sustainable, earth-friendly future.
About this collection
These discussions serve as a window into the technical research that powers my practice. When I speak about topics like hybrid timber construction or glue-free joinery, I am sharing the evidence-based methods I apply to every project. Understanding these foundations helps you see why I prioritize specific material choices, from passive solar planning to local sourcing, and how they directly impact the health and longevity of your living space.
My approach to architecture is deeply rooted in constant learning and experimentation. By collaborating with platforms like the Conscious Collective, I aim to bridge the gap between academic research and practical construction. These talks aren't just about theory; they are about real-world application, such as how we utilize Northeast Indian construction techniques to create seismic-responsive structures or how we integrate upcycled tree skin into modern interiors.
Why Research Matters in Your Home
- Material Integrity: I treat timber and bamboo as engineering materials. My research ensures that what we build is structurally sound without relying on synthetic glues that harm the environment.
- Passive Performance: Through my work with passive solar planning, I help you reduce reliance on artificial cooling, keeping your space naturally comfortable.
- Local Wisdom: I focus on reviving traditional methods that have stood the test of time, adapting them with modern technology to meet today's climate challenges.
Whether it is optimizing a floor plan for natural ventilation or designing a staircase that uses floating timber treads, my design philosophy is consistent. I work to create spaces that breathe, using sustainable boards and zero-VOC paints to ensure your home is as healthy for you as it is for the planet.
