Areas of Research/Study:
Areas of interest include art history and criticism, architectural design theory and urban studies. PhD Research titled“Integrating ‘grey zones’ in the city fabric: A study in transformation of Housing dynamics in Kolkata, India”, seeks to identify the ‘quintessential’ Kolkata residential neighbourhoods and examines them in the context of the city’s development patterns. The work assesses the vulnerability of neighbourhoods to total transformations and attempts to identify different attributes responsible for transformations, correlating their own inter relationships, which affect the dynamics of change. Based on the cumulative impact of the effect of these attributes, suggestive intervention strategies are put forward, with a commentary on possibilities of taking this research forward.
