Architectural Practice in India: A Millennial Archaeology
PART 2

Session #3
Communitarian and Activist Practices
This panel examines the changing nature of architectural practice by bringing together practitioners who have located themselves meaningfully within this shift, foregrounding questions of equity, access, and justice in urban space, and exploring how dialogue between architecture, activism, and community has reshaped professional roles and modes of engagement for architects.

SEA Annual Exhibition 2026
Situated Imaginaries

Situated Imaginaries presents student work emerging from field engagement through observing, drawing, and documentation. The projects reflect an evolving understanding shaped by context and experience rather than fixed assumptions. The exhibition offers a glimpse into ongoing inquiries within SEA, highlighting careful attention to place, process, and learning. Together, these works quietly map how ideas develop through study, reflection, and practice within the academic environment.

SEA Annual Conference 2026

Both urbanisation and architecture are still understood through a rigid urban-rural binary that privileges mega-cities and villages, even though most urban growth continues to occur in urban archipelagoes that lie beyond the simple categories of small cities, villages and census towns. These archipelagic regions, shaped by expanding urban networks, are becoming key sites of architectural work where schools, cultural institutions, religious buildings, tourist infrastructures, and new homes are rapidly emerging. Practicing here requires engaging with new spatial logics and rethinking ideas of the local, vernacular and modern. This conference brings together practitioners working in urban archipelagoes to develop new concepts and expand architectural theory beyond metrocentric frames.

INVITATION

SEA Annual Student Exhibition 2026
SITUATED IMAGINARIES

Situated Imaginaries brings together student projects that emerge from intensive field-based engagements, where knowledge is not assumed in advance but assembled through listening, observing, drawing, and writing. These frames of reference are never static; they shift as encounters deepen, allowing unfamiliar questions and perspectives to surface. Rather than reinforcing what is already known, the works hint at ways of seeing that are still forming. The exhibition becomes an apparatus of seeing; a framing device that reflects a pedagogical environment that encourages attentiveness, reflection, and intellectual risk. The ideas emerging from this context reorient inherited references while suggesting other possibilities for thinking and practicing. Situated Imaginaries gathers projects that shape the pedagogical landscape of SEA.
