Anita Kulkarni

An architect by training and profession, ANITA KULKARNI was educated in India and the United States. Her spatial designs are known for sensitive green thinking, dramatic visual impacts and excellent micro-climatic modifications. A vivid thread weaves her design philosophy, wherein space is seen as an expressive open canvas, and in continuity, forming an integral environment of tree groves, brick walls, lily ponds, furniture and accessories. Her international practice spans across two decades and covers hundreds of completed projects including work in climatically challenged zones of rural India. She has been a visiting faculty member at the college of Architecture at Bombay University for 8 years. She is a prolific writer in the subject of architecture. Her passion for literature, painting and music - the fine arts originating in Architecture - is expressed through her work. In her own words, “The immensely creative experience of poetry rises from within. The process reminds me of a deeply expressive quote by Olivanna Milanoff, on the Taliesin story. “The whole opus looked like something we had not been building but excavating...” (Olivanna Milanoff was the wife of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The quote has a reference to the Poem in this book, on Taliesin west - ‘Silhouetted against McDowell Mountains’). Gypsy is a collection of hundreds of such creative moments”.

JOURNEY

The heat and scorch weighed me down

In the arid path that was

Steep and winding

The path changed faces

And went on forever

Through forests

Which closed in on me

The black monolith at the peak

Was smooth, and all heart, though

Cool as a kind tree shade

Under the same scorching sun,

And tranquil
