Adithi Garood, a first-year student in the Environmental Building Design (EBD) program, has been awarded the inaugural Future of Architecture Scholarship, an international recognition that honors emerging designers demonstrating strong analytical rigor, environmental sensitivity, and forward-looking architectural thinking.
Her work is grounded in building science and climate-responsive design, with emphasis on integrating environmental performance into architectural decision-making. Through research-based methods, including environmental analysis and design experimentation, she explores how architectural systems can reduce energy demand, improve thermal comfort, and respond effectively to diverse climatic contexts.
The jury recognized her ability to link academic inquiry with real-world architectural challenges, positioning design as a research tool capable of addressing pressing issues such as climate change, urban heat, and resource efficiency. The scholarship supports her continued exploration of evidence-based design strategies that contribute to the future of sustainable and resilient architecture.
