Narendra Dengle (born 1948) is an architect, academic, and author based in Pune.[1] His architectural designs have been a part of VISTARA in Paris as part of the Festival of India exhibition in 1986, and State of Architecture Exhibition in Mumbai in 2017-18.[2][3] He has partnered and worked on various academic and architectural projects with Achyut Kanvinde, Vasanth Kamath, Romi Khosla, M.N.

Architectural practice and design

edit

Dengle began practicing architecture in 1974.[4] In the same year, he founded a partnership firm with Vasant Kamath and Romi Khosla called The GRUP (Group for Rural & Urban Planning), in which Revathi Kamath was an employee.[5] From 1983 to 1987, he was the resident director of SEMAC(I) Private Limited in the Sultanate of Oman. He is the Principal of the firm Narendra Dengle and Associates.[6] He has designed residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings, many of which have received critical appraisal and awards.[7] His awards include HUDCO low cost housing in 1975 and the first prize for the Archaeological Museum in Srinagar in 2000.[8]

Among his notable architectural projects are the Ramakrishna Math (2002), Maharshi Karve Museum (2007), and a bird observatory (2019), all in Pune.[9][10][11]

Academic career

edit

Narendra Dengle taught at the School of Planning and Architecture from 1974 to 1981.[12] He has been the Design Chair at institutions including KRVIA (2006-2011), and also the Academic Chair at the Goa College of Architecture (2012-2014). He has been closely associated as a faculty member with the Building Beauty Programme at the Sant'Anna Institute in Sorento.[13] Dengle continues to teach and be on the juries of several schools of architecture and design.[14][15]

Dengle was one of the founders of the Forum for Exchange and Excellence in Design (FEED), a public platform where he interviewed eminent architects from across India from 1999 to 2006.[16] A selection of interviews and writings eventually resulted in the book Dialogues with Indian Master Architects, which features Achyut Kanvinde, Raj Rewal, Anant Raje, Hasmukh Patel, Balkrishna V Doshi, Uttam C Jain and Charles Correa.[17]
