ABSTRACT

Mona Doctor-Pingel comes from a family of doctors, so much so that her maiden name was ‘Doctor’. However, her family based in Ahmedabad had decided that she should not become one as there were too many in the family. As a child, Doctor-Pingel was good in drawing and sketching. During her 11th and 12th standards in Delhi, she took up technical drawing. She was exposed to the field of architecture through one of her architect aunts.
