[Goanet] The Radical Designs of Anupama Kundoo (GQ, August 2022)

[V M]

https://www.gqindia.com/live-well/content/how-can-architecture-help-solve-social-environmental-and-economic-crises-berlin-based-architect-anupama-kundoo-has-the-answer

On the 8th of October 2020, even as much of the rest of the world stayed
locked down against the devastating first wave of the global COVID-19
pandemic, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen proceeded with
opening “Taking Time”, its retrospective of the remarkable oeuvre of
Berlin-based architect Anupama Kundoo.

In their foreword to the book accompanying the exhibition, museum director
Poul Erik Tøjner and curators Kjeld Kjeldsen and Mette Marie ­Kallehauge
posed an elemental question: “How can architecture help solve the social,
­environmental, and economic crises that the world is facing?” They noted
the industrial age established “time as a yardstick”, which resulted in the
hasty “creation of thousands of mediocre buildings around the world”. But
here was an alternate way of thinking: “Kundoo tries to return qualitative
time to the production of architecture—by human work and human hand, which
­naturally takes longer than machines but involves a far better sense of
materials, detail, space, and the building’s relationship to the site.”

“Taking Time” was a thunderclap of a turning point for Anupama Kundoo, and
unleashed a cascade of honours. In May 2021, she was awarded the Auguste
Perret Prize for Technology from the ­International Union of Architects
“for her innovative use of local building techniques, material sourcing,
and construction principles, all the while being acutely ­responsive to the
environment, climate, and culture”. Just a few weeks later, the Royal
Institute of British ­Architects gave her the 2021 Charles Jencks award for
“significant contributions to the theory and practice of architecture”.

“I always felt a bit like a weirdo,” says Kundoo to me, towards the end of
our first video conversation between Germany and Goa, in June earlier this
year. “But now it’s clear there are so many more people who understand and
appreciate my work, the postures I’ve taken to my life, and the things I’ve
pursued on behalf of our collective selves.”

There can be no doubt the 55-year-old is at the heart of the global
zeitgeist. At this very moment, she is being showcased in the “Good News:
Women in ­Architecture” exhibition at MAXXI in Rome, the spectacular
Italian national museum of contemporary art and architecture designed by
the late, great Iraqi ­British architect Zaha Hadid. And in ­September,
“Co-creation. Architecture is Collaboration” at the ­Festival
D’Arquitectures de Barcelona will explore “Kundoo’s research-oriented
practice, which focuses on rethinking materiality, energy-efficient
architecture, inclusive participatory processes, affordability, and
circular economy, as well as green infrastructure”.

An additional development closes the loop to where Kundoo kick-started her
practice in 1990, almost immediately distinguishing herself from other
Indian architects of her generation. As of the beginning of this year, she
is the head of urban design for ­L’Avenir d’Auroville, the town development
council under the aegis of the Auroville Foundation, created under an act
of parliament to function under the Ministry of Human Resource Development
in New Delhi.

Now she intends to do nothing less than rethink the city in every possible
dimension, by experimenting on a large scale that permits “radical and
integral thinking of habitat” in an endeavour with huge implications for
India and the rest of the world.It has been an unlikely, highly
individualistic road to celebrity for Kundoo, who told me she was born into
“an uprooted Bengali family who became Bombayites but remained rooted in
Bengaliness”, and raised in Kalina opposite the University of Mumbai
campus, where she graduated from the nearby Mary Immaculate Girls High
School. Although she had no role models in architecture or design in her
social milieu, the storied Sir J.J. College of Architecture—the oldest
architecture school in Asia, which completed its centenary in
2013—attracted her interest because she thought the field would allow “a
grand synthesis of my many interests, particularly math and fine arts”. In
a field of over 1,000 applicants, she managed to rank 13th and secure one
of the 33 ­available spots.

“Anupama was always a star,” says Nita D’Souza, one of Kundoo’s classmates
who now runs a flourishing architectural practice in Goa along with her
­husband Arvind (another J.J. College graduate). “I don’t mean she was the
typical topper, but more in terms of always pushing boundaries, challenging
even the most basic assumptions, and doing things the rest of us had not
even begun to think of. No one could have predicted what has played out
over the past 30 years, but even then, we all recognized her thinking was
different. Her calibre was evident from the very beginning.”

D’Souza and Kundoo were part of an exqui­sitely timed generation of Indian
profes

[Goanet] SMRITI IRANI MUST COME CLEAN OVER A PUBLIC DEBATE ON SILLY SOULS CAFÉ & BAR

[Aires Rodrigues]

Union Minister for Women and Child Development Smriti Irani should
gracefully agree to a public debate on facts and figures so that the people
of Goa, across the nation and overseas know the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth about that the now very controversial Silly Souls
Café and Bar at Assagao.

Nobody has ever claimed that those premises are owned or that the licenses
were in the name of Smriti Irani’s family. All that has been alleged is
that the illegal Silly Souls Café and Bar was being run by Smriti Irani’s
family and that there was enough prima facie evidence to that effect.

In an interview with food vlogger Kunal Vijayakar in April this year, Zoish
Irani had detailed the motive behind opening what she described as an
international restaurant in Goa. Smriti Irani had shared that very
interview on social media while tagging her daughter and the restaurant
bar’s social media account stating that she was “So proud”.

As per the records of Maharashtra’s Registrar of Companies, at least two
Directors of this restaurant’s alleged parent company, Eightall Food and
Beverages, are also directors of two firms linked to Irani’s husband and
son. Eightall Food and Beverages operates from the same address as that of
Silly Souls Café and Bar which is House No 452, Bouta Waddo, in Assagao.

The firm Eightall Food and Beverages was incorporated in December 2020 and
registered the following month with GST number 30AAIFE70SSH1ZM, lists its
Principal place of business as House No 452, Bouta Waddo, Assagao – Goa,
which is the address of Silly Souls Cafe and Bar.

Further as per the records of Maharashtra’s Registrar of Companies the
 Eightall Food and Beverages has five Directors – Rahul Vohra, Geeta
Vajani, Harsh Khaneja, Mangesh Joshi, and Kanika Seth and that Vohra and
Joshi are also Directors of companies run by Smriti Irani’s husband Zubin
Irani. Rahul Vohra is a Director with Zubin and his son Zohr in Ugraya
Mercantile while also running other companies – Spark 84 Adworks and
Meethapani – with Zubin’s ex-wife Mona Irani.

Mangesh Joshi serves as Director of Ugraya Farms along with Zubin, Zohr and
Zubin’s sister-in-law Mehernaz Kaizad Irani, of Shree Bawaji Foods with
Zubin, and of Heramba Life Sciences with his wife Meenal Joshi and Zohr.

There is no need of any further evidence that the now late Anthony DGama
was just a front while the Irani Souls were running the show. It is no
surprise that Silly Souls Café and Bar was quickly built and Excise licence
issued all in total breach of law.

All this was all done in 2020-21 possibly taking advantage that we were in
the midst of the raging COVID-19 pandemic. Let us hope that the Truth will
now prevail while the Lies and Deceit will stand exposed.
