Rupali Gupte shares her work around Chawls as an a architecture and infrastructure of care.
Chawls becoming a porous unit affording transactions and allowing for expansion of the house beyond the tenement units.

Third years experimenting with materials to create parti diagrams.

The model making exercise in the course ‘Fraternity as Infrastructure’ explored different case studies by breaking them into diagrammatic models made with different materials to understand how spatial and programmatic interventions co-relate with each other.

SEA Conversations Projections: Anticipations and Architecture 04

One Thing Led to Another
Naomy Parikh Naomy in conversation with Vastavikta Bhagat Vastavikta Bhagat

The talk traces the evolution of an architectural practice through the questions that emerged from its work. Moving across a series of projects, it reflects on how engagements with site, material, construction, labour, and landscape have gradually shaped an architectural approach. Rather than beginning with a fixed methodology, the practice has evolved through a process in which each project opened new inquiries and possibilities. Looking back at these trajectories, the talk considers architecture as a cumulative and situated form of learning, continually reshaped by the conditions, relationships, and material realities from which it emerges.

Naomy Parikh is an architect, co-founder of Doro, a graduate of CEPT University, and a trained potter from Golden Bridge Pottery. Based in Ahmedabad, Doro is an architecture and design practice working across architecture, design, and curation.

Alumus Varun Shetty receives the award for Excellence in Architectural Thesis at the Council of Architecture Zonal Jury held in Hyderabad for his thesis dissertation titled ‘[Room] for Play within Dense Redeveloping Landscapes of Mumbai which was a spatial design response to her research conducted in semester 9 on the same.

He looks at ‘Play’ in his thesis and that the term itself implies a voluntary activity that is chosen to be performed with intention of feeling relaxed, satisfied or entertained. In his work he mobilizes play through the evident phenomenon of spillage, excess and appropriation in the margins which is called as the Room for Play.

To this he asks how does ‘play’ occur in the dense spatially or low-to-middle-income residential typologies in Mumbai.and how can it help in rethinking spatial logic of redevelopment at the scale of the house, the cluster, and the large building, making room for informal life.

He worked on developing a conceptual framework for design.

Alumus Swara Chavan receives the award for Architectural Thesis with Social Concern at the Council of Architecture Zonal Jury held in Hyderabad for her thesis dissertation titled ‘Architecture of Agility: Kit for assembly-disassembly’ which was a spatial design response to her research conducted in semester 9 on ‘Anatomy of Demolitions: A case of Bheemchaya Nagar’.

She states in her work that demolitions erase the built habitat formed over the years and is unpredictable in informal settlements. This threat of eviction within the community is always constant and thus the anticipation shapes the built environment. But during this a household can hardly recover any of their part of homes and has to start a new.

To this she asks what is the architecture of agility that helps people self build, disassemble, rebuild and relocate?

She worked on developing a set of tactical forms from existing material logics that can come together and fold up easily to become homes.
