About

I'm Vivan. I study architecture, write code, and take photos. I'm currently based in Mysuru, but originally from Coimbatore.

I started studying architecture because buildings are the biggest things we build. I write code because it's the quickest way to bring an idea to life. And I take photos because it forces me to slow down and actually look at details.

To me, these aren't separate fields. Whether it's a structural grid, a layout, or a line of code, the process is the same: understand the problem, find the logic, and make something that holds together. The medium changes, but the thinking stays the same.

Right now, I'm in my fourth semester at WCFA, working on freelance web projects, and photographing the quieter corners of Mysuru.

Currently

  • → 4th semester, WCFA College of Architecture, Mysuru
  • → Accepting freelance web projects
  • → Shooting architecture in Mysuru
  • → Reading: The Timeless Way of Building
