074: Taruna Gupta: 3D-Printed Architecture with Defining Humanity

Taruna Gupta is a Senior Associate at HGA Milwaukee where she works on projects that champion holistic design, equity, and sustainability. She is President of Wisco NOMA and is a board member of Women in Design Milwaukee.

Taruna is also Co-Founder and President of Defining Humanity where she leads global initiatives such as 3D-printed schools and housing solutions that redefine architecture’s role in addressing equity and access in communities around the world.

We talk about:

- Lessons Taruna has learned from practicing architecture in India, Italy, France, and the United States. We talk about the ways in which these roles have expanded her cultural fluency and strengthened her adaptability in terms of the design process, construction techniques, labor models, and metric vs imperial systems.

- The origin of Defining Humanity and how she has helped to build a volunteer network of professionals that collaborate to significantly impact underserved communities worldwide through architectural interventions.

- 3D printing schools in Madagascar and the importance of listening to and engaging communities, ensuring people feel truly heard.

- Taruna's advice for authentic networking, leaning into your passions during conversation, and using the “buddy system” to make professional events less intimidating.
