Of place.
Of material.
Of time.

Architect, author, and educator, Sahil Tanveer works between built practice, AI research, and public teaching. As founder of RBDS and RBDS AI Lab, he uses advanced workflows to test architectural ideas against site, material, narrative, and decision-making rather than as shortcuts to finished images. His work spans residential and hospitality projects, research, writing, and more than fifty invited talks across India and abroad.

Author of books and teaching material on AI for architects, Sahil has helped designers read the technology as a design lens, not a replacement for judgement. His AI documentary The Atavism of an Old Ideal screened at the International Film Festival of Larissa in Greece. His public work sits in the same territory as his buildings: questions first, tools second.

With over two decades of experience, Swapna Neogi brings the interior discipline of RBDS into focus: proportion, surface, furniture, fabric, and the lived scale of a room. Born in Zambia and educated in Kolkata, she has worked across South Africa and Asia, carrying a wide cultural memory into a practice that remains precise about daily use.

Swapna specialises in residential and hospitality interiors where material choice is inseparable from comfort, maintenance, and atmosphere. Her work is detailed without becoming ornamental, warm without becoming decorative, and grounded in nature without relying on theme. She gives the studio its close reading of how a space is touched, occupied, and remembered.
