Hello, I am Anagha!
I was born in India and moved to the UK to complete my undergraduate degree in BSc Architecture at Queen’s University Belfast, during which I also undertook an Erasmus semester at University of Stuttgart, Germany. I completed my year out at Rapport Architects and am currently pursuing my masters in MArch1, Some Kind of Nature (SKN) atelier at MSA. My work explores architecture as an ecological mediator rather than a static object and I am particularly interested in biophilic design beyond traditional greenery, integrated environmental strategies, and how design can respond critically to the climate emergency while enhancing human and non-human well-being. I am excited about the opportunity to bring this perspective to the Growth Maps live project in collaboration with Moor Allerton Preparatory School, not only to help create a nature integrated and nurturing environment for the students, but also to contribute to a design process that can have a tangible, real time impact on their daily experiences. Through integration of ecology, well-being, and sensory engagement, I am looking forward to creating spaces that actively enhance learning, curiosity, and connection to nature from the earliest stages of education.
