Dr. Ar. Tara Sharma Singla — Co-Founder

Architect | Academic | Researcher working on Biophilic & Walkable Cities, Human Behaviour I am an architect, researcher, and academic leader working at the intersection of urban design, walkability, human behaviour, and biophilic environments. My work is driven by a single question: how can the built environment meaningfully improve everyday life—socially, psychologically, and environmentally? With over two decades of experience across architecture, education, and research, I engage with cities not just as physical constructs but as lived systems shaped by policy, culture, and human choice. My doctoral research focuses on walkability in planned Indian cities, examining gaps between policy intent and lived experience, with Chandigarh as a key case study. This work contributes to global conversations on healthy cities, sustainable mobility, and human-centric urban planning. As an academic leader, I have mentored future architects and designers to think beyond form—towards responsibility, ethics, and societal impact. I actively integrate research, practice, and pedagogy, encouraging students and professionals alike to question norms and design with empathy and evidence. My professional practice is grounded in biophilic design, spatial optimisation, and contextual responsiveness, with experience spanning architecture, interiors, urban landscapes, and institutional projects. I have collaborated with government bodies, academic institutions, and design teams, translating research into real-world interventions. I am particularly interested in: • Walkability & microscale urban assessment • Biophilic and nature-integrated design • Human behaviour in built environments • Architecture education & future pedagogies • Research-practice-policy integration I welcome conversations around research collaboration, academic exchange, publications, reviews, and speaking engagements.
