Jindal, Aradhana
Dialogue with Ar. Namita Singh - Vol.86(12), Dec - Mumbai Indian Institute of Architects 2021 - 38-40p.
Ar. Namita Singh [NS]: I graduated from CCA Chandigarh.
After I completed my pre-University, I considered taking up
engineering as my father was a civil engineer. In those days
most girls were married off after completing their graduation.
My parents encouraged me to choose my own career and
become financially independent. At that time I was not
familiar with architecture as a career. It was in the year 1965
and Le Corbusier was designing Chandigarh. I became aware
of architecture through my father who interacted with Le
Corbusier and other architects while they were involved in
designing some elements of Bhakhra Dam. After completing
my pre-engineering I was eligible for admission in both
engineering and architecture colleges. I chose architecture, it
being a new profession was exciting and challenging.
