ARCHANA GUPTA

By education an architect with a masters degree in sustainable design, Archana Gupta believes that the value of architecture lies in its wholistic nature . She through her buildings and teachings tries to represent those aspects of architecture which look for the “big feelings” in the little things. Though she is antithetical to the very idea of institutions, for the last few years she has been conducting a studio for architecture students in New Delhi, which explores the evolution of architectural discourse through the everyday production of space in traditional settlements. That’s why apart from being a practising architect she likes to teach, write, learn languages and read . . . .books, people and cities!
