///digital design dimensions

D3LAB is an investigative design practice, exploring a technologically advanced and augmented approach towards addressing critical issues pertaining to urbanity, architecture and spatial elucidations which define our rapidly evolving society.

Our main focus is to fill the gap between experimental ideas and execution by redefining the design processes and their implications on the built environment. Hence we promote knowledge and expertise of computational design tools and advanced manufacturing technology to create interactive environments by facilitate designers, architects, engineers, makers and researchers to manifest their ideas and providing them a productive environment for experimentation and innovation.

Located primarily in Surat – India, D3LAB is an applied innovation design lab curated by NOUMENA; a collective group focused on computational design, research and education that investigates between the boundaries of new digital paradigms and design strategies, based in Barcelona – Spain. Hence together, Our multidisciplinary team strives to create interactive experiences in architecture, engineering and design by developing ideas in the realm of experimental designs and architectural concepts through seamless amalgamation of computational design with data analytics, generative frameworks, robotic simulations, interactive environment and digital fabrication.

chirag rangholia

principal architect

 

Chirag is an architect with major in computational design and digital fabrication tools. After Studying architecture from CEPT University, India, he furthered his interest through researching and developing interdisciplinary skills of architectural and parametric design at IAAC (Institute for Advanced architecture of Catalonia), Barcelona, Spain. As well He has excelled in digital fabrication tools and advanced manufacturing technologies by graduating Fab Academy (Course by MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms) from Fab lab Barcelona.  Meanwhile, He has also been involved in teaching at IAAC, Fab Academy and organized several international workshops.

Since 2014, he is a founding partner at Noumena, a multidisciplinary practice based in Barcelona, Spain. Parallel to that He is a partner at RESHAPE – digital craft community, and leading the project NERO | Networking Environmental Robotics; a collaborative research project with aim to develop systems and robots to translate different environmental conditions into data. Currently, he is setting up D3LAB | digital design dimensions LLP; an applied innovation design lab curated by Noumena in India.

harsh patel

principal architect

 

Harsh is an architect, developing an architectural practice addressing residential and industrial needs, while having a focus on product, element and interface design. He studied at CEPT University, India; where he developed his interest in design and making of things with material exploration and application. He engaged himself in to research and evolution of flexible, adaptable and portable systems as an architectural response to high transient human life, while studying at  AKBILD (Institute for Art and Architecture, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna), Vienna, Austria. As an academician; he is involved in education, research and curriculum development. Professionally, he is furthering his inclination by taking deep interest towards computational design and digital fabrication. In association with Noumena, he has partnered to set up D3LAB | digital design dimensions LLP in India.
