Architectures of Transition: Emergent Practices in South Asia

Lecture Series

The lecture series aims to better understand not just the opportunities present but also the issues that current and emerging practitioners engage with and are grappling with on the ground. Furthermore, this lecture series is an endeavor to create a comprehensive survey of the South Asian Landscape to understand both models and modes of practice being deployed. This helps gain insights into diverse forms of patronage, methodologies, emergent technology, and construction technique explorations. It also sheds light on how the more humane and social aspects of Architecture, characterized by participatory frameworks, are being approached by practitioners today. The hope is that the ecology of practitioners and network of peers created through this sharing of ideas in this forum might lead to cross-pollination of concepts and methodologies in addition to critique and reflection among the next generation of practitioners in the region.
