DIVYARAJSINH RANA

INFORMATION DESIGNER | ARCHITECT | TRANSITION RESEARCHER 

Divyarajsinh Rana is an academic, researcher, and information designer working at the intersection of architecture, socio-ecological transitions, and art, with a focus on human–nature partnerships. He currently serves as Assistant Professor and Head of Studies for the undergraduate programme in Information Arts and Information Design Practice (IAIDP), where he combines pedagogy, research, and content creation to make complex ideas accessible and engaging.

Divyarajsinh’s work explores how ecological and societal transitions can be communicated effectively through storytelling, visualisation, and design. He integrates traditional and indigenous knowledge systems into narratives that clarify complex human–nature relationships, making them relatable for diverse audiences.

Through teaching, research, and professional practice, he develops transdisciplinary methods that connect ecology, culture, and design. By translating intricate research and ideas into clear, compelling outputs—whether written, visual, or digital—he aims to foster understanding, engagement, and action across communities, empowering the next generation of designers and stakeholders to navigate transformative challenges.
