About
Nivedita Sridhar’s research sits at the intersection of digital fabrication, timber construction, and participatory design, with a focus on making complex architectural geometries accessible to non-experts. Her most cited work, “Kit-of-Parts Fabrication and Construction Strategy of Timber Roof Structure,” introduces a digital design-to-production workflow that enables self-builders to construct double-curved timber roofs using only simple, planar, and straight elements. This approach dramatically simplifies manufacturing, assembly, and delivery, reducing both cost and construction time. By translating complex geometries into a kit-of-parts system, Sridhar empowers communities to engage directly in building their own environments—a contribution that bridges computational design with social equity. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered attention for its practical, low-tech yet high-design methodology. Sridhar’s research is notable for its emphasis on open-source workflows and material efficiency, positioning her as a rising voice in sustainable, digitally-enabled construction. Her ongoing projects continue to explore how computational tools can democratize building processes, making advanced architectural solutions viable for broader, non-specialist audiences.
