As the ultimate multitaskers, they seamlessly blend creativity, functionality, and an innate understanding of human needs to craft spaces that not only captivate but nurture the soul. From the pioneering work of legendary architects like Zaha Hadid, Sheila Sri Prakash – India’s first woman to establish her own practice, to the contemporary visionaries reshaping our world today, the 21st century has witnessed a seismic shift, with women taking center stage and reshaping the very essence of how we experience the built environment.
As we celebrate our 41st anniversary issue, it is imperative to shine a light on the role of women in shaping the world around us. In this session of Design Dialogues, we bring together two accomplished architects, Mitu Mathur - Director of GPM Architects and Planners and Aparna Kaushik - Principal Architect and Founder of Aparna Kaushik Design Group, to engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the challenges, triumphs, and unique perspectives that women bring to the world of design. Read on, as Aparna and Mitu share their experiences in empowering and mentoring aspiring women designers and architects, paving the way for future trailblazers.
