My name is Arvind Ramachandran.

I am an architect and urban designer with work experience from India and the Nordics. I am based in Helsinki, Finland.

I am interested in how we can create inclusive spaces and center perspectives that are often overlooked in our society.

I have worked with design of large public buildings and urban areas, participatory planning methods and emerging design tools.

I am currently involved in projects that explore how the potential of underused urban spaces can be unlocked to promote arts, culture, community and wellbeing in the urban environment.

In recent years, I have lectured and been a panelist at institutions like the University of the Arts Helsinki and the University of Helsinki. My interviews and texts have been published among others by Archinfo, Finnish Architectural Review and The Finnish Cultural Institute in New York.
