Harshad Rathod received his bachelor's degree in architecture from the Allana College of Architecture in Pune, after which he completed his internship at Matharoo Associates in Ahmedabad—an experience that fundamentally shifted his perspective on architecture, broadening his understanding beyond the frameworks shaped during his academic training.He went on to spend five years working with practices such as Artha Studio, PMA Madhushala, and DCOOP, gaining hands-on experience in both design and execution. These years provided a strong foundation for his independent architectural journey.At Artha Studio and PMA Madhushala, Harshad worked as site architect on Sanatan Siddhashram—a collaborative project between the two offices, located on the outskirts of Shantiniketan, West Bengal. His role involved close engagement with on-site construction, local materials, and the iterative development of architectural details during execution.Subsequently, at DCOOP, he contributed to the VIT-Boys’ Hostel in Bhopal—a large campus comprising multiple accommodation blocks and shared amenities. As site architect, he was involved in design development, coordinated between the design studio, contractors, and clients, conducted regular site visits, managed drawing communication, and oversaw quality control during execution.In 2022, Harshad established Studio Biosis, a small independent practice rooted in the idea of designing for life. Drawing from the Greek bios (life), the studio approaches architecture as a living interface between people, place, and planet—grounded in material honesty, contextual sensitivity, and thoughtful construction.
