Kingkini Roy Wins Nagel Award

Each year, CPA's Carol Nagel Award is presented to a graduating student who has achieved excellence in the University of Cincinnati's historic preservation certificate program.  The scholarship honors Carol Nagel, CPA's first woman president.

This year's recipient is Ms. Kingkini Roy.  Ms. Roy is a registered architect in India and has a profession degree in Architecture from the School of Planning and Architecture in New Delhi, India.  She worked with the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage and started an independent architectural consultancy team.  They worked on several projects with special focus on architectural and planning interventions within historic contexts. 

Her life-long interest in historic architecture eventually brought her to the University of Cincinnati in 2007 to join the Master’s program.  At that time she also enrolled in the Certificate in Historic Preservation program.  This program enabled her to combine her interest in historic architecture as well as design.  Her Master’s thesis is entitled:  A Case for Change in Indian Historic Preservation:  Re-evaluating the Present Attitudes Towards the Past, with Possible Alternatives for the Future.
 
Ms. Roy plans to return to India where she will use her education and enthusiasm for historic preservation to influence preservation policies in government agencies.

Cincinnati Preservation Association is pleased to award Ms. Roy the Carol S. Nagel Award.  She is, without question, an international historic preservationist and we wish her the best of success in her career.
