Sarosh Anklesaria

Sarosh Anklesaria is the T. David Fitz-Gibbon Professor of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University. Sarosh is an architect, educator, and recently a critic at the Yale School of Architecture. In addition to teaching at Yale, he has taught architecture at The School of Architecture at Taliesin, Cornell University, The Pratt Institute, Syracuse University, and CEPT University in India. Sarosh is interested in an expansive notion of architectural agency, one that synthesizes architecture’s formal and tectonic capacities with questions of socio-ecological pertinence. Current design research considers agency across various scales and geographies. Sarosh is the initiator of the Endless Pavilion Exhibit, supported by the Art Omi Residency (2019), whic problematizes questions of labor, display and architectural conservation through acts of building and unbuilding. Anklesaria has worked extensively as a practicing architect with Diller Scofidio + Renfro (New York City) on The Shed - a landmark mobile facility for the visual and performing arts; with Herzog & de Meuron (Basel) on the Kolkata Museum of Modern Arts, and with Sangath, the office of B.V. Doshi (Ahmedabad). In addition to his own independent architecture practice, he also co-founded Anthill Design, a collaborative architecture firm based in India. Anklesaria’s writing, design projects, and research have been published in a variety of media including The Architectural Review, Domus, Architect’s Newspaper, and Design Today. He has juried on the architecture and design grants panel for the NY State Council of the Arts. Anklesaria holds a diploma in architecture from CEPT University, Ahmedabad and a post-professional Master of Architecture from Cornell University.
