Women of Vaastukala

Women of Vaastukala is a web archive, based on the ongoing research project, Revisiting India’s Architectural History: Tracing the Women Practitioners of Twentieth Century India. The intent of the project "has been to converse with a wide-range of women practitioners in the architecture and built environment industry, map their journeys and arrive at an alternate narrative of Indian architectural history post-independence." Throughout the project, "stories from 21 women practitioners from across different time periods, as many different geographies in India and panning across different forms of practices in architecture and the built environment –" have been recorded and synthesised. The archive today, consists of the oral history recordings by women architects and their family, friends and colleagues, and their transcribed summaries.
