Bio

Architect by passion and profession. (IIT Kharagpur, 🇮🇳 1984) Also deep into IT. Use Telegram @tadclub for extra links etc.

The whiteboard I use can be seen at https://tinyurl.com/sabufrancis

I work both on abstractions as well as on the ground reality. Abstractions include theory of architecture, epistemology, knowledge management, algorithms, data, etc.

Ground reality includes actual architecture works for Konkan Railway Corporation and others. Did millions of square-feet of projects as well as scores of computer software, websites and other IT work.

My book “designs on life” is: https://store.pothi.com/book/sabu-francis-designs-life/

A collection of articles and poems connecting design and life.

I developed TAD (The Architect's Desktop), one of the oldest truly-object oriented AI architectural designing software. It is a pioneering work in the area of BIM (Building Information Modeler); the world's only space based BIM (better term would be AIM)

TAD is free: www.teamtad.com
AIM (architecture information Modelling): aimnetwork.org

I code in over 12 computer languages: Visual Prolog (&several other versions of Prolog), Delphi (& freepascal+Lazarus), JavaScript, PHP, Rebol (&Red-Lang), Erlang (&yaws), Python, C++, C, ...

I wrote an AI scripting language for architecture which is used inside TAD. It is called ARDELA (Architecture Design Language). It is based on Prolog. A variation of it for use on the web is called Narasimha (web prolog)

I also play a bit of music on the side and generally have loads of fun with students when doing all that

Over the years, I have given many workshops, seminars, talks in the following areas:
IT in architecture, BIM, Mathematics, Architecture, Design thinking, Motivational workshops for organizations, Orientation programs for fresh professional course students, Music

I have been called for design juries at Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay. Reviewed books on climatology at IIT Bombay, two research projects concerning energy calculations of building conducted along with Dr JK Nayak and his team IIT Bombay, etc

I also have deep interest and reasonable knowledge of psychology and sociology.

I would love to learn more and keep improving myself and the world around me, by openly sharing my knowledge.
