About me

Nomoshkar! I'm Mitu B. : welcome to Facile Architecture.

I'm a Senior BIM Architect with over 7 years of experience in architecture and building information modelling, currently based in Navi Mumbai, India.

 Why this blog?

I started Facile Architecture in 2020 as a hobby during an uncertain time : a way to channel my love for architecture into something meaningful. What began as case studies on temples and architectural history has grown into something broader.

Today the blog covers everything from ancient Indian temples to US residential construction documentation : written simply, backed by real experience. 

Hobbies: Sketching, painting, reading, writing and cooking.
