Indian architect Anupama Kundoo’s work begins with and remains close to the deep human needs of purpose, refuge, and social engagement. Her architecture speaks through details; details that foster intimacy and variety, sensory and spatial. It is where makers engage with hand and mind to produce objects they are proud of, where they transform simple materials with care and intelligence into purposeful structures; where they are challenged to do more with less; and where they routinely exceed all expectations including their own.

Kundoo’s work is about the innovation and socio-economic abundance that results from research and investment in materials and building techniques. The act of building produces knowledge just as much as the resulting knowledge produces buildings. Each lesson learned and each incremental improvement drives micro-decisions that, over time, produce the disproportionate and culmination increases that we call abundance.
