<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">I, Ar. Aditi Dwivedi, seek the opportunity to join NICMAR University as an Assistant Professor, bringing with me a strong commitment to architectural pedagogy, sustainability-driven design education, and professional skill development.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">As an Assistant Professor at a Government Architecture College, I have been actively involved in teaching B.Arch. students, particularly in courses such as Architectural Design, Energy Efficient Architecture, Inclusive Design. My pedagogical philosophy centres on integrating theory with application. I structure courses to bridge architectural design thinking with construction systems, environmental performance, and execution feasibility. I believe architectural education must prepare students not only as designers but as responsible professionals capable of addressing real-world constraints.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">My teaching approach emphasizes:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">I encourage students to view architecture as a holistic process involving conceptualization, coordination, environmental analysis, and project management. Through structured assignments, site exposure, and analytical exercises, I aim to strengthen their critical thinking and technical clarity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">In addition to teaching, I have engaged in conferences, research exploring sustainable rural development models. This experience has enriched my understanding of how pedagogy must respond to evolving environmental and socio-economic challenges.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">NICMAR University&rsquo;s strong foundation in construction management, project execution, and infrastructure development makes it an ideal platform for advancing architectural education that is technically robust and industry-aligned. I am particularly interested in contributing to curriculum development, studio coordination, academic mentoring, conducting varied conferences and interdisciplinary collaboration.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">I am confident that my dedication to academic rigor, structured studio culture, and sustainability-driven design education will allow me to contribute effectively to NICMAR&rsquo;s vision of developing competent, industry-ready professionals</span></p>
