21st Annual Geoffrey Bawa Memorial Lecture

Anupama Kundoo

Anupama Kundoo is an internationally recognised and award-winning Indian architect who started her practice in 1990. Not only does she have extensive experience in building varied architectural projects in India but also has the experience of working, researching and teaching in a variety of cultural contexts across the world. Kundoo has focused on building sustainable architecture to minimise impact in the construction process whilst maintaining the connection with the community. She specializes in making low-impact building technologies that are environmentally and socio-economically beneficial by incorporating everyday materials and low-skilled artisans. Material research and experimenting with locally sourced materials has been a key element of her work style.
