Namandeep Dhiman
Architectural Designer
London
Summary
Currently completing a Master’s in Architectural Design at UCL, with a research focus on AI-driven responsive spatial systems. Experienced in concept design, technical detailing through Revit, and both physical and digital fabrication. Passionate about crafting experiential architecture that is interactive, sustainable, and efficient.
My design approach balances innovation with material sensitivity, emphasizing craftsmanship, narrative design, and spatial atmosphere. By combining computational tools with an understanding of natural materials and artisanal techniques, I aim to create spaces that are both intrinsically beautiful and faultlessly functional.
I see architecture as a long-term commitment to quality and livability, designing environments that resonate emotionally while performing practically, achieved through seamless integration of technology, fabrication, and thoughtful detailing.
