Suryagayathri Geetha

I am an architect, researcher with a passion for understanding the impact of spatial transformations due to urban developments on historic centers and skill-based communities. As a doctoral researcher in architecture, I investigate the urban pressures and spatial transformations on historic settlements. Prior to my doctoral studies, I have spent two and half years conducting research and teaching in India, where I developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges and varying impacts of urban developments which are turning as a threat to many rural communities. I am honored to have received a gold medal for my Master's degree (M Arch-Conservation) and the Best Thesis Award from the School of Planning and Architecture in Bhopal, India. I am currently a recipient of the prestigious DAAD-PhD Scholarship for my doctoral studies in Germany. I am committed to advancing the field of architecture through my research contributions and promoting sustainable design practices.
