Biography
Boston University
Dr. Dutta-Koehler has over fifteen years of experience in the field of urban planning,
design, and architecture as an educator, researcher, and practitioner. An award-winning
architect and planner, Dutta-Koehler maintains her own international architectural
practice specializing in residential design. Prior to her current appointment, she has been
part of the MET faculty since 2006 as an adjunct professor, receiving the Dean’s Citation
for Teaching Excellence in 2011. She has also held faculty positions at the University of
Texas at San Antonio and Wentworth Institute of Technology, and was a lecturer at MIT.
Her scholarly interests are eclectic: her current research and teaching focuses on climate
change adaptation – particularly in the urban Global South – and environmental
sustainability in the built environment; her previous work has explored the hybridized
and virtual milieus in the “new frontiers” of digital architecture, as well as Colonial-era
urban planning in India and modern-day U.S. “company towns.”
Professionally, Dutta-Koehler has worked on various international design competitions
and award-winning projects, which have been recognized by the World Habitat Award,
Indian Institute of Architects’ Award, American Institute of Architects, U.S. Department
of Energy, and others. Her teaching reflects a praxis-oriented pedagogy, through which
she challenges students to connect classroom lessons to real-world issues in socio-
cultural, economic, physical, and political contexts to explore critical aspects of the built
environment, both from a technological and a policy-oriented perspective. Dutta-
Koehler is also committed to the creative and performing arts and draws upon two
decades of eclectic artistic pursuits, including photography, graphic arts, and Indian
classical dance, to inform her design sensibility.
Dr. Dutta-Koehler serves on the Faculty Advisory Boards for the Initiative on Cities and
the Institute of Sustainable Energy, and is a Faculty Associate at the Pardee Center for the
Longer Term Future at Boston University.
