Pedagogy:

Triveni’s foremost method of teaching includes encouraging critical thinking which enables individual learners to engage with creating designs for environments that respond to complex existing problems. The potential of digital technology in relation to designing, analysing, and learning is also an integral part of her ethos as she believes that it should be encouraged to reach its maximum potential. Apart from this, encouraging reading and writing to back up design through literature, and collaborative discussions are also significant to her as it enhances peer learning and critical engagement with the shared body of knowledge in the field of design.
