DR. MAHESHWARI GUPTA’S RESEARCH EXPLORES THE RICH INTERSECTIONS OF ARCHITECTURAL DOCUMENTATION, CULTURAL HERITAGE, AND SUSTAINABLE URBAN SYSTEMS. HER WORK IN ARCHITECTURAL STORYTELLING CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF PLACES, BUILDINGS, PEOPLE, LANGUAGES, AND TRADITIONS—ESPECIALLY WITHIN SOUTH ASIAN CONTEXTS—HIGHLIGHTING HOW VERNACULAR AND HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE EMBODY CULTURAL MEMORY AND COMMUNITY IDENTITY. PARALLEL TO THIS, SHE INVESTIGATES URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND WATER GOVERNANCE, WITH A FOCUS ON GREEN–BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE—NATURE-BASED APPROACHES TO STORMWATER MANAGEMENT, FLOOD RESILIENCE, AND ECOLOGICAL HEALTH—THAT ALIGN WITH INTERNATIONAL FRAMEWORKS SUCH AS SPONGE CITY AND WATER-SENSITIVE URBAN DESIGN. THROUGH POLICY ANALYSIS AND COLLABORATIVE PLANNING FRAMEWORKS, HER STUDIES REVEAL HOW CURRENT URBAN PLANS (E.G., DELHI’S MASTER PLANS) OVERLOOK INTEGRATED WATER POLICIES, UNDERSCORING THE NEED FOR INCLUSIVE GOVERNANCE AND MULTI-SECTOR COOPERATION. FURTHER, HER DOCUMENTED FIELD RESEARCH ACROSS SOUTH ASIAN COUNTRIES BRINGS TO LIGHT LOCAL ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVES AND PRACTICES, ENRICHING COMPARATIVE STUDIES ON COMMUNITY-LED ADAPTATION, CULTURAL RESILIENCE, AND BUILT HERITAGE.

DR. MAHESHWARI GUPTA’S TEACHING SPANS FIVE CORE ARCHITECTURAL DOMAINS, EACH WITH DISTINCT RELEVANCE AND PEDAGOGY. IN URBAN GOVERNANCE, SHE EQUIPS STUDENTS TO ENGAGE WITH INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS, PARTICIPATORY PLANNING, AND GREEN–BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY, GROUNDED IN CITIZEN-INCLUSIVE GOVERNANCE RESEARCH ECOLOGY & SOCIETY. HER LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE STUDIOS FOCUS ON ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL SITE ANALYSIS, EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO DESIGN RESILIENT LANDSCAPES WITH BIOSWALES, RAIN GARDENS, AND GREEN CORRIDORS. THROUGH SITE PLANNING, SHE EMPLOYS HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS AND SPATIAL ANALYSIS TO TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT URBAN FORM, PUBLIC REALM MAPPING, AND CONTEXT-RESPONSIVE DESIGN. IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, STUDENTS LEARN TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF MATERIALS, STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS, REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, AND SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES, PREPARING THEM FOR PERFORMANCE-BASED DESIGN. FINALLY, HER HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE TEACHING USES CRITICAL HISTORIOGRAPHY, FIELD STUDIES, AND CASE ANALYSIS TO EXPLORE VERNACULAR TRADITIONS, CULTURAL NARRATIVES, AND ADAPTIVE REUSE OVER TIME. THIS SUBJECT-SPECIFIC CLARITY ENSURES STUDENTS DEVELOP DEEP EXPERTISE AND PRACTICAL SKILLS TAILORED TO EACH FIELD.
