Anupama Kundoo

Indian architect (born 1967)

Anupama Kundoo belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.

The record lists Anupama Kundoo as Indian architect (born 1967).

Anupama Kundoo was born at Pune in 1967. Her recorded nationality is India. She trained at University of Mumbai Sir JJ College of Architecture and Technische Universität Berlin.

Contemporary practice is global, computational and preoccupied with energy: the profession's central question is now what a building costs the climate.

She is recorded as architect, university teacher and scientist.

Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.

Recognition followed: Auguste Perret Prize and RIBA Charles Jencks Award.

That the work was built in India shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Anupama Kundoo is still practising, and the body of work is not yet complete.
