Taking the intellectual inquiry and discourse a step further, the conference ‘Architectures of Transition: Frameworks & Practices in South Asia’ interrogated questions around the agency of architecture, by engaging established architects, with over a decade’s experience on-ground, who’ve adopted distinct and diverse methods of practice. The conference put academics and practitioners in dialogue with each other to reflect upon the breadth of work undertaken in the South Asian region collectively- bridging the schism that exists between the academy and practice. We hope this led to some productive insights on both ends of the spectrum to help better inform the question: What is the ‘architecture’ of practice, that is relevant and effective for the South Asia region, that continues to be characterized by acute transitions?
