Ar. Prof. Rupali H. Gupte: An Architect by profession and an academician by passion, Rupali has been through an interesting journey of designing spaces to guiding young minds for over three decades. She wears many caps, from being a professional Architect, to Principal in architecture colleges, she's spent her life as a counsellor, a mentor and a friend. Her passion for teaching and guiding students has given her a caravan of diverse and talented students, and a group of eminent, professional architects that together form her close-knit community. Those who have been under her mentorship echo her belief in how every student is Unique and how education should encourage and enhance this individual uniqueness. Graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture degree, Rupali has done her Master’s in Project Management and further pursued her Ph.D in architecture education. She believes in mentoring students to develop their self-awareness through critical conscious initiatives which in-turn help them explore their uniqueness. In the multi- faceted discipline of Architecture, she has observed that with the right guidance, students carve their own niche and find their own way. With the focused aim, to share these stories, Rupali launched her firm “Copperpod Architecture Paths", to take others through this road less travelled by. Through the YouTube channel of CopperPod Architecture paths, we showcase numerous future career prospects and scopes available in the field of Architecture and design. We bring hand holding strategies to help you uncover who you are and explore your calling within Architecture.
