A 4-week rigorous architectural design studio in three diverse locations in India culminating in the POOL*, Ahmedabad.

PROGRAM

Restrained Regionalism

  • Located in the village of Silvepura,on the edge of this expanding urban sprawl, the studio will explore fragments within a continuum of changing landscapes : from virgin grassland-rocky outcrops of the Deccan Plateau, through agricultural land and rural settlement, followed by rapid urbanization on an unprecedented scale. An attempt will be made to assimilate these experiences through a layered design intervention set in this locale.

Down to Earth

  • Auroville is conceived as an intentional urban experiment that would address the work of the ‘evolution of consciousnesses - a spiritual way of life while dealing with challenges posed by the economic, sociological and cultural factors of the region. Today, 45 years after its conception, Auroville is a growing community with 2500 committed and creative individuals from 45 different nations. The week long design studio will focus on working in teams with an international clientele, while responding to the local conditions.

Unabashed Modernism

  • Set amidst the Aravalli and dotted with lakes is Udaipur; an important historical city in Southern part of Rajasthan. It has a dense urban fabric and like many cities in India witnessed rapid growth and changes in the old city which is continuing. The design program will include an urban insert addressing the rich historical context while imagining the future.
