I’m SAKINA LOHAWALA, a third-year Bachelor of Architecture student at Anant National University, and I love exploring materials, refining details, and creating spaces that are thoughtful and rooted in community. Architecture excites me as a dialogue between the past and the future—where form and function meet, and where an individual’s needs connect with a wider sense of belonging. I’m especially drawn to the interdisciplinary nature of the field, and I actively experiment with artificial intelligence as both a design and research tool. I enjoy collaborative work, value research-driven processes, and look forward to learning, growing, and contributing to human-centered design through thoughtful experimentation and technology.
