Suchi Reddy is an Indian-American architect and artist. She is the founder and leader of Reddymade, an architecture, design and public art practice, based in New York City. Reddy's work focuses on the effects of our built environment on its users, and she often explores the relationship between architecture and neuroaesthetics.[1]

Biography

Raised in Chennai, India, Reddy began studying architecture in India at Anna University and continues her studies upon her arrival in the United States at the age of 18, earning her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Detroit Mercy.[2] Upon graduating, she worked at Arquitectonica, Polshek Partnership, and Gabellini Sheppard.[3]

Reddy established her own firm, Reddymade, in 2002 with a focus on the emerging field of neuroaesthetics.[4] Her mantra is "form follows feeling," with a focus on how design can impact our wellbeing.[5]

In 2019, she won the Times Square Valentine Heart Design competition with the installation X. In 2019, she was also appointed Plym Distinguished Professor at the architecture school of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[6]

Form Follows Feeling

Reddy's work is defined by the mantra "form follows feeling," which privileges how space impacts the user, and examines architecture's relationship with the body.[7] She has written and lectures about architecture and neuroaesthetics.[8] In 2019, she designed the installation, "A Space for Being," in collaboration with Google, Muuto, and the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University at Salone del Mobile in Milan to explore our physiological response to the stimuli of our designed environment.[9]
