Arthi Krishnamoorthy AIA, LEED AP
Arthi Krishnamoorthy is a partner at the New York-based firm, Deborah Berke Partners. Her approach to design and practice is empathetic and humane. She strives to create spaces that connect people to their locale, to one another, and to the moment; designing spaces that make an impression upon individuals and places that better their communities. Arthi understands buildings to be a result of the cooperative efforts of many. She leads projects of many types and is drawn to the threads of each. Arthi received her B.S. in Architectural Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and an M.Arch. from the University of Pennsylvania.
Strike a chord
A love and respect for architecture was seeded in Arthi at an early age. Traveling through India and Southeast Asia, and growing up in a house designed by her father, she came to appreciate that architecture, the simple and the magnificent, can move us. Believing spaces can leave tangible and lasting impacts on its inhabitants, she is driven to create architecture that strikes a chord. Arthi will discuss how this ambition has pushed her, and how she is influenced by advice received from a friend and mentor to “make it matter.”
