LOVELEEN BRAR

Loveleen, born and brought up in India has learned problem solving techniques from her surroundings where 'JUGAD' becomes necessary. It is now a concept that is being studied widely in the field of Urban design but has been ingrained in her mind making her self motivated and adept in finding solutions one way or another.

With a masters degree in Architecture from UCLA, School of Architecture and Urban design, IDEAS Suprastudio, she has studied the role of Architecture in various fields such as Robotics, Augmented and Virtual reality and a range of parameters in media, art and temporary construction with the ability to have a real approach to all kinds of projects learning new set of skills along the way. She is constantly looking to be part of more experimental projects promoting better design and a sustainable future.

Loveleen has been in the field of Architecture since 2008 and has gained more than five years of professional exposure in various cities and countries. During her experience, she has performed numerous tasks and assignments from Site measurements, schematic design and Zoning studies to producing construction documents of architectural projects such as restaurants, apartment complexes, single family residences etc,  developing Plan check submission packages, Plan check corrections and permit applications. She has also been responsible for Building department liaisons including but not limited to Planning and building code queries, Submittals and Plan check meetings, City Planning submissions, Environmental Assessment Forms among other aspects of Project management such as Coordinating with consultants and clients, finalizing building materials from flooring to insulation and facade paneling,  coordinating bidding proposals for consultants, products etc. The plan check submission packages have helped her build a knowledge of the various building codes and accessible design techniques and learn how to address the corrections/forms submittal, Density bonuses, ZAD forms, Entitlements and adaptation with Plan check engineers understanding the processes of working with the City. Construction drawings helped her gain a practical knowledge of building technologies and understand the different details involving the structural and building systems and their collaboration.
