FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
- What is RBDS AI Lab?
- RBDS AI Lab is a research-led architecture practice exploring how artificial intelligence transforms architectural thinking, visual culture, and the future of design. Founded by Ar. Sahil Tanveer in Dharwad, India, it is the applied research and innovation arm of Red Brick Design Studio (RBDS), the architecture and interiors practice he founded in 2013.
- Who is Sahil Tanveer?
- Ar. Sahil Tanveer is an architect, author, and AI-in-design researcher based in Dharwad, India. He is the founder of Red Brick Design Studio (RBDS) and RBDS AI Lab, author of the book Delirious Architecture, and writes the AI in Architecture series on Substack. He speaks internationally on AI, architecture, and design futures.
- What does RBDS AI Lab offer?
- Four service tracks: (1) Speaking — keynotes, lectures, and panels on architecture and AI; (2) Advisory — applied AI advisory for studios, institutions, and decision-makers; (3) Logika — the Lab's education layer with online courses, on-site workshops, and faculty training programmes; (4) Built work through RBDS — residential, hospitality, commercial, and unbuilt architecture.
- What is Logika?
- Logika is the education layer of RBDS AI Lab. It offers structured learning programmes for architects, designers, students, educators, and studios entering the age of AI — including the flagship AI Fundamentals for Lighting Designers course (co-taught with Martin Klaasen), on-site workshops, the AI Design Director Protocol, and faculty training programmes.
- Is RBDS AI Lab an AI consultancy?
- No. RBDS AI Lab is not a generic AI consultancy or content brand. It is a design-led practice grounded in architecture and built work, applying artificial intelligence to architectural thinking, design education, and the future of the studio. The Lab integrates with RBDS's architecture and interiors practice — applied research and built work compound each other.
- Where is RBDS AI Lab based?
- Dharwad, in the north of Karnataka, India. The studio operates as a single founder-led practice headquartered in Kalyan Nagar, Dharwad — 580007. Speaking and workshop engagements run internationally; advisory and online courses serve worldwide.
- How do I invite Sahil Tanveer to speak?
