About Me and Academany

about-me

Mahavir Singh Partner, Zios Makerspace | Lab Manager, FabLab Chandigarh

I completed my Fab Academy in 2017 with a project that revolved around expandable linkages that could be utilised in Mobile Makerspaces. The 1:1 is currently awaiting to re-commence fabrication Mid-2019.
I like to keep myself diverse in my day to day activities and so am involved with quite a number of fields. My work and related activities though not updated from quite some time can be found on ----->this link<----

Design Major Glory's 90%

Programming Mandark's 78%

As I belong to the field of Architecture, there are quite a few streams that branch out of it like Naval arch, Furniture Design, Landscaping, Industrial Design, Interiors, Gaming arch, Set design among many others. I have a bit of experience on each end from these. Fashion is an upcoming field that is emerging and amalgamating well with architects. So on a personal level, I find it interesting to spend about 6 months exploring this side as well. As a Fab academy instructor, Fabricademy also ends up expanding my skill set further in the soft robotic and Skin electronics side of it.

As an architectural firm, Zios is a generative and computational design oriented limited liability partnership that has done numerous established projects as external Architectural BIM consultants and pride ourselves to be able to fabricate and execute with equal competency complicated projects in our FabLab department.

It started 3 years back and in which have been part of the last 3 fab conferences that i attended, Chile being one of the most memorable ones i visited (majorly because Fab Foundation sponsored my ticket for that one as one of the four graduates who got their support to visit. ;-). Its overwhelming and a matter of gratitude that I carry within me for them.

We are currently in the process of establishing three neighbouting satellite city fablabs in the tricity-Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali. While Chandigarh is already established and Mohali launching this year, Panchkula's work will extablish and commence next year.Amongst ourselves, we pride ourselves to be carrying out fab awareness activities among youth for North Indian states.
