Biography[edit | edit source]
Samira Rathod attended the Sir J. J. College of Architecture in Mumbai[1] and graduated in 1986. Thereafter, she received a Master in Architecture degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1988.[1][2]
Samira Rathod worked for the California firm of Don Wald and Associates on various projects including some for Clint Eastwood.[citation needed] Returning to India, she worked for Ratan Batliboi[1][2] and then eventually started her own partnership firm in 1995 called RLC.[1] Her 1996 solo furniture exhibition called 'Liasons de Formes'[1] led to a much broader public recognition in India.
In 2000 she started a solo practice called Samira Rathod Design Associates.[2][3]
In 2008, she founded SPADE, a critical architectural publication with a focus on Indian architecture.[4]
Rathod is an adjunct faculty member at the Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA) in Mumbai.
