Meghana Rao

I have managed diverse architectural projects, including residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. My responsibilities spanned the entire project lifecycle, from conceptualization to completion. I created schemes, physical and digital models, and detailed drawings; supervised construction sites; developed scheme, plumbing, electrical, working, structural and interior drawings; costing; coordinated with consultants; and contributed to competition entries. This experience honed my skills in project management, design development, and technical execution across various building types and scales.

Master’s in Architecture and Urbanism at the Architectural Association

My skill set includes proficiency in advanced architectural software such as UnrealEngine for urban simulations, Grasshopper and C# for parametric design, and Maya and Rhino for 3D modeling and Revit for BIM. I have experience in robotic arm programming, 3D printing, and digital fabrication techniques. My expertise extends to material behavior research, stress analysis, and innovative design methodologies including minimal surface design and geodesic curve creation. I have also worked with Arduino programming and have explored techniques like curved crease folding and kirigami. These diverse abilities allow me to approach architectural challenges with a blend of computational design, digital fabrication, and cutting-edge research methods.
