Tara Singla

I am a passionate architect, committed academician, and emerging thought leader with a multidisciplinary foundation built on excellence in both education and practice. A Gold Medalist in Masters of Architecture, I have consistently blended design thinking, contextual sensitivity, and sustainability across my roles. Currently serving as Head of Department, Building Technology at Lovely Professional University, I lead with purpose‚ championing educational innovation, contextual design, and collaborative studio culture. My leadership aims to simplify complexity, amplify core architectural values, and create future-ready professionals. Over the years, I've played dynamic roles across the design ecosystem‚ mentor, jury member, researcher, and professional consultant‚ evaluating seminars, product prototypes, theses, and architecture projects nationally and internationally. These experiences have reinforced my belief that design cannot exist in isolation. Every successful project must intersect with technology, agriculture, biosciences, culture, and‚ most critically‚ social behavior. I advocate for an architectural practice rooted in biophilic principles, cultural revival, and economic impact. My work integrates functionality, budget sensitivity, and aesthetics while aligning with broader human and environmental needs. My strengths include: Research in sustainable cities, walkability, and policy‚ Studio leadership and design pedagogy, 3D rendering, spatial optimization, and retail environments, Cross-disciplinary knowledge application, Thoughtful jury engagement and critique. As I evolve my academic and professional journey, I am committed to becoming a recognizable voice in architecture and design education, building not just structures, but mindsets.
