ABSTRACT
Anjali Yagnik is passionate about architecture and feels it is an interesting combination of the arts and the sciences. Yagnik (née Balachandran) grew up in Delhi and later did her schooling at The Lawrence School, Lovedale, a boarding school near Ooty, as her father was in the army. Yagnik’s classmate’s mother had just completed an interior design course. Hearing about her experiences when she was 13 got Yagnik quite interested and excited about the field. Soon, she read an article about the School of Architecture (now Faculty of Architecture) at the Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology University (CEPT University) located in Ahmedabad. The article left a strong impression on her, and she promised herself that she would study there. Eventually, she joined the 1974 batch at CEPT.
