Shiv Narain Gupta is recorded as an Indian student enrolled on the 1966-67 postgraduate ‘Housing Course’ run by the Architectural Association’s (AA) Department of Development and Tropical Studies, in London. Details of Gupta’s earlier education and subsequent career are not yet known to us beyond the fact that he was still residing in London in 1969 and in the late 1970s was registered as a member of the UK’s Royal Town Planning Institute.
