Ankush Chandran

Assistant Professor

Interests

He is deeply interested in urban phenomena, digital urbanism and data-informed design. Much of his independent research has been an intersection of phenomenology, open-source mapping and digital profiling.

He has conducted workshops on Digital Mapping in Urban Studies at academic conventions and is actively engaged in Graphic & Publication Design, having designed several books and publications over the past years.

Pedagogy

Ankush believes that design must necessarily be informed by objective research. In his academic courses, he encourages lateral thinking through cross-disciplinary inquiries.

He believes that structure, process and method form the foundation of any successful design endeavour.
