Apurva Bose Dutta works at the intersection of architectural design writing, thinking, discourse, curation, journalism, criticism, and communications. Apurva's passion for communication and her academic background (B.Arch., Chandigarh College of Architecture; Diploma in freelance journalism, U.K.) have translated into her unique 18-year career with the AEC industry, involving global collaborations with prominent multimedia publication houses, firms, organizations, and institutions affiliated with architecture, design, and building.
