Jury Reveal — Vignesh Sekar
Meet Vignesh Sekar, Founding Principal Architect of STO.M.P — Studio for Modernism & Practical Aesthetics.
Reimagining what modernism owes to its climate.
Since founding STO.M.P in 2016, Vignesh has built a practice around a simple yet demanding belief: modernism only works when it responds to where it stands.
Rooted in contextual design, material intelligence and craft-driven detailing, his Madurai-based practice, with an extended presence in Kuwait, has earned recognition across Wallpaper*, ArchDaily, and Habitus Living.
His portfolio spans residential, hospitality, commercial and public infrastructure, including an ongoing collaboration with Indian Railways to reimagine three South Indian railway stations.
We are honoured to welcome Vignesh Sekar to the jury of the Terracotta Design Award 2026.
