Vipin Dhunnoo
/Profile
Hi, I am Vipin (BA. Dip. PAC) Architect, film maker and a video game designer. I began working and experimenting with emerging technologies during my Masters of Architecture at the University of Greenwich as a medium to understand, fabricate and represent space.
My work and research examines the implications of interactive technologies and game engines in designing the built environment, focusing on its integration in the field of architecture. I have a multi-disciplinary approach to my work, using a mixture of video, motion graphics, interactive game technologies, game engines and architecture to help compose and visualise spaces: blurring distinctions between physical and virtual.
My animations and the drawings have been exhibited and published internationally whilst my work and support for the university in helping pupils (learners) within schools, colleges and academies throughout England was rewarded in 2009. During the summer of 2013, I graduated from my Dip Arch with my research thesis, Future Game Space, credited with a distinction.
