Anupama is an architect who has worked in
India and in England. She is also involved in teaching architecture and is
about to take up a position at the University of Queensland. Anupama was
critical of the position taken by Sheela Patel as being dismissive of of design
as a tool in slum renewal. She presented many projects she had designed in
India that used traditional materials and traditional crafts. She was concerned
about the over use of less sustainable materials like concrete in so many Indian
buildings rather than the use of clay. Anupama demonstrated a roof system using
terracotta interlocking pots. Her approach is very much against the formal
Public Works type of construction. www.anupamakundoo.com
