Anirudhan Iyengar is an architect, world-builder, creative technologist, and researcher based in Innsbruck, Austria. He holds a PhD in Architecture from Studio 2, Institute of Design, Faculty of Architecture, University of Innsbruck, where he currently works as a Postdoctoral Researcher and lecturer, alongside developing commissioned work, artistic projects, and commercial collaborations across immersive design, spatial experience, and emerging technologies.

​

His practice spans built architecture, interior design, exhibition design, and immersive, interactive works, moving fluidly from architectural studios to brand agencies, academic research, teaching, and independent commissions. Rather than treating these as separate domains, he understands them as interconnected terrains through which a continuous research curiosity unfolds.

​

At the core of this trajectory is a fascination with a subtle “something” that emerges at the intersection of technology, culture, and embodied experience, one that is often sensed rather than articulated. His interests lie in encounters across science, artistic practice, technological tools, online culture, and human tradition, where space, perception, intuition, and ritual entangle with technical systems. Through these hybrid conditions, he explores forms of distributed intelligence: shared, affective, and frequently illegible, operating across body, mind, environment, and collective consciousness.

Originally from Mumbai, Anirudhan studied at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (London). His work has been exhibited internationally, including in London, Moscow, Beijing, Mumbai, Barcelona, Linz, Austin, Scotland, and Innsbruck.
