B.Arch, NIT Nagpur
Institute-scale training in design; thesis exploring computational methods.
LAYER 01 — ARCHITECT
The built environment,
drawn and delivered.
Ten years of drawing, modeling and coordinating real buildings — resorts, villas, districts — inside BIM, at construction scale.

NODE A-03
GRITNOVA · SUSTAINABLE AI FOR ARCHITECTURE · THESISEntertainment Floating District, Bronx
A "15-minute city" proposal for the Bronx waterfront: mixed entertainment districts grown parametrically in Rhino, evaluated by Look X AI against walkability, energy and program-mix targets.
LAYER 01 · ARCHIVE BOARDS
Competitions, thesis, drawings.
LAYER 02 — BUILDER
Software for the
discipline itself.
The tool every Gulf architecture office is missing: code that reads building codes, checks live models, and never gets tired at 2 AM.

01 · PROBLEM
UAE building codes are thousands of pages across DDA, DM and civil-defence volumes. Compliance checking is manual, slow, and fails silently.
02 · SYSTEM
A Revit-native compliance engine: a JSON-driven rule base evaluates your model continuously; violations render in-place, inside the view you're working in.
03 · INTELLIGENCE
A RAG pipeline over Gemini serves natural-language code queries — ask it like an assistant, get clause references back with citations.
04 · MY ROLE
Founder & sole engineer. Rule-engine design, Revit API integration (C#), RAG backend, metrics caching, DCR parsing, live error visualization.
COMPLIANCE SPEED +30–60%

Where the systems
start thinking.
Every layer above feeds this one. The diagram is live — drag the nodes, watch what connects to what.

LAYER 04 — EXPLORER
Experiments &
open questions.
Prototypes, tools and half-finished theories. Some became products. All of them taught me something.
-
EXP-01
3D Media & Simulation
Blender modeling, texturing and physics simulation for media production — where I learned that rendering is just architecture with a light budget.
-
EXP-02
Real-time Environments
Certified Unity developer — game engines as the fastest way to test architectural space, light and movement before anything is built.
-
EXP-03
Generative Design Research
AI-driven massing and city studies — the Bronx district began here: can a model propose, not just render?
-
EXP-04
Future Cities & Big Data
Gritnova certification track connecting urban data streams to design decisions — sensors, flows, and feedback into form.
LAYER 04 · TECHNICAL ARCHIVE
The drawing habit never left.
