RIDHI CHOPRA

Hello, I'm Ridhi! Welcome to my page, Etched!

 

Etched signifies permanence, capturing the essence of design and architecture that leaves an indelible mark on our minds. Throughout my portfolio, each project has carved its place in my consciousness, enriching my knowledge and fueling my curiosity. This name honors the enduring impact of architectural creations, be it in the form of fleeting memories or tangible structures.

 

I recently graduated from the Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design program at GSAPP. Originally from India, I completed my undergraduate studies in Architecture from Sushant School of Art and Architecture. My journey in the field began with valuable experience at Serie Architects, where I had the opportunity to contribute to the design and execution of various projects across different scales.

​

Throughout my career, I have been involved in diverse architectural endeavors, ranging from designing a K-12 school to collaborating on multiple high-rise housing complexes and interior design ventures. Alongside my architectural work, I have also explored the realm of art direction, actively participating in the creation of captivating set designs or graphic design, constantly trying to challenge the notion of defining 'design' into one professional umbrella.

​

One of my proudest accomplishments is being awarded the prestigious William Kinnie Travel Fellowship for my project, titled "Journey of Care." This project focuses on repurposing urban infrastructure to create spaces that prioritize radical care. By emphasizing crucial aspects such as health, comfort, and care in a comprehensive manner, my aim is to push the boundaries of what architecture can contribute to society. Leveraging spatial conditions and a sense of familiarity, I strive to design inclusive and equitable environments that make a meaningful impact.

​

I am deeply passionate about reshaping the definition of architecture and actively seek out conversations centered around inclusivity and equity in architecture.
