Prof Amrita Madan

Achiever's Success Story

Creator, Thinker & Designer

Introducing the charismatic Prof Amrita Madan. Prof Madan’s commitment to excellence and her dogged determination to transform Architectural education and practice, is helping in making it multidisciplinary, inclusive, and hence, future-ready. As Prof Madan says ”Being recognised for an award like this is always the outcome of a collective effort, and I have so many people to thank for it – my family, contributors, fellow travellers, partners-in-crime, friends, philosophers and guides of all backgrounds, all ages, all spheres of life. Mostly, I thank Rupamanjari Ghosh for making me believe that my idealism can stay intact. It is a humbling experience. More than anything else, it raises the bar further.”

Prof Amrita Madan is a practicing architect (since 1997), an educator and researcher having a Master’s in Landscape Planning (2001) and an M.Phil. (Urban Theories) (2002), from France. She has a keen interest in the cross-over between fields of creative thinking in the making of space, experientiality and narrative-based design methodologies. Amrita’s journey over her 25 years of experience since graduation is a testament to this cross-over. Learning never stops, and currently, Amrita is pursuing her PhD on the systemic relationship between practice and pedagogy from SPA, New Delhi. She also serves as Associate Dean at School of Art and Architecture, Sushant University (SSAA).
