MEGHNA MAURYA

I am a fresher architect with 1 year of experience working in Delhi at Anagram Architects. My passion about computational design and technological innovations is majorly driven by my interest in the future of architecture and thus in the application of technology for innovative and sustainable architecture. My recently acquired skills in BIM and computational design allow me to approach desig n not only through aesthetics but also to enhance efficiency, now helping me to focus on interoperablity, data management and automation, more than ever.

Committed to lifelong learning, aim to contribute my skills to a design firm that prioritizes innovation, societal impact and is ready to build for the ‘future’ through advanced, environmentally conscious designs. Let’s build a future where architecture embodies technological progress and sustainable practices thus building a future ‘NOW’.
