PARUL KIRI ROY

Parul Kiri Roy is an architect academician and art historian. After her training as an architect, she studied History of Art from Kala Bhavana, Visva Bharati, Santiniketan. She primarily engages with the idea of architecture as an outcome of occupied space, of people’s needs and user experience of the built environment. In her work and studio, she constantly strives to clarify the relationship between the intangible qualities of space perceived and the tangible aspects of the frame delineating the space. Parul is also involved with study of vernacular settlements, guiding students to understand the inter-relationships between morphological, cultural and life patterns in a place. She is currently an assistant professor in the Dept. of Architecture, School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi and is working on her research exploring the correlation between education and all that informs the practice of architecture in our country.
