a) Presently working on a book titled "Doors n Doors'', which includes history, transformation, documentation and projects related to Doors from various parts of the country. Further research will proceed on technical, material and advanced hardware related to Doors.
b) Documentation and analysis of rural built form in the southern states of India.

The output of my research will help in formulating the housing strategies in housing sector. The sudy also highlighted the link between the built form and occupation of rural households. in addition to these the sudy revaled interesting forms, materials, behaviour, and utility spaces of various built forms in rural Andhra Pradesh. The results could be used as recommendations for design solutions for architects, designers, government and non-government organistations and to the people who want to build houses in this modern world with similar occupation.

Further research on various occupations could be tested in other regions. Future researcj can be replicated and duplicated with the same content and methodology for diffrent occupational groups and context to understand the influence of occupation on built form.
