EARLY INFLUENCES & LOVE FOR ARCHITECTURE
Born into a Tamil Brahmin family in Bhubaneshwar, Revathi Kamath’s initial year with her Engineer Grandfather paved a way for her becoming an architect in later life. Her grandfather who was the Chief Engineer at New Town, was very interested in architecture and thus used to subscribe a lot of architecture magazines. Since she lived with her grandparents, she was contantly in touch with those books that gave her an indepth exposure to the subject that kindled a desire to be an architect. Flipping through the pages of those books, Ar Kamath was familiar with names like Robert Venturi, Bruce goof, Frederick J. Kiesler and Frank Lloyd Wright at very early in her growing years and thus deepened her understanding of different forms of architecture. Her father, who too was a civil engineer, was working on the Hirakud Dam, so Revathi spent her time in Bengaluru as well as surrounding tribal areas, that shaped her understanding and made her sensitive towards the organic forms of architecture.
