Anupama Kundoo

The Architect's Studio

The fourth volume in the series The Architect’s Studio is dedicated to the works of Anupama Kundoo. The much-appraised Indian architect aims to shed light on a neglected resource in architecture: time. Kundoo works with time in architecture on multiple levels – from the research and development of artisanal technique to the construction of buildings without mass fabrication and big machinery. This publication explores how Kundoo integrates traditional Indian building customs, crafts and materials into her studio's remarkable projects. It also presents a number of her most important buildings, including the future Line of Goodwill project.

“For most of us, this year has been a bit of a time warp, with life grinding down to a halt, and yet months passing far too quickly. So it’s surely the perfect moment to dive into this book on the Indian architect Anupama Kundoo, whose mantra is ‘To take time is to be alive’.”

Anupama Kundoo

Anupama Kundoo was born in Pune, India in 1967. She graduated from Sir JJ College of Architecture, University of Mumbai in 1989, and received her PhD degree from the TU Berlin in 2008. In 2013 she received an honourable mention in the ArcVision International Prize for Women in Architecture for ‘her dedication when approaching the problem of affordability of construction and sustainability in all aspects’. Kundoo’s internationally recognized and award-winning architecture practice started in 1990 and demonstrates a strong focus on material research and experimentation towards an architecture that has low environmental impact and is appropriate to the socio-economic context. Kundoo has built extensively in India and has had the experience of working, researching and teaching in a variety of cultural contexts across the world: TU Berlin, AA School of Architecture London, Parsons New School of Design New York, University of Queensland Brisbane, IUAV Venice and ETSAB Barcelona. She is currently Professor of Affordable Habitat at UCJC Madrid and the Strauch Visiting Critic at Cornell University.
