arcVision Prize 2015 – Women and Architecture – SAMIRA RATHOD - Honorable Mention
i.lab Italcementi Group, Bergamo (Italy) – March, 5/6 2015

Samira Rathod established her studio SRDA in 2000, after graduating in Mumbai and achieving a Master in Architecture at the University of Illinois. However small her firm is she’s been able to complete original buildings for the arts with a careful attention to details and material, from the interiors to the structures and surfaces, using concrete, glass and metal in a kind of “sculptural” matching of forms and functions. The Baroda Art gallery is in fact an artist’s studio but also is space for show and the visitors to the gallery can have a glimpse on the artist at work or vice versa. The House in Amhedabad also plays with the concepts of privacy and transparency of living, by revealing a possible “public” dimension also for private housing.”
