A multi-disciplinary perspective to urban spatiality and built environments.
Do you think the education system provides us the wisdom to think rationally, identify 'who we want to be', 'what is our passion' that becomes a purpose of life to serve the community and city?
“One cannot make Architecture without studying the condition of life in a city.” - Aldo Rossi.
In answering to the blog question, It is believed that every process in urban design is an exploration, experiment and enquiries towards decoding the relationship between Architecture, multi-layered urban networks (historical evolution, water systems, early civilizations, livelihoods, communities, newer mobility patterns, social spaces and its arrangements, etc.) and people’s associations to it. The current discourse on urban global theories driven by globalization and information technology has impacted our cities by manifesting newer spatial structures and socio-cultural arrangements. This paved way to dive in for deep understanding of city life and its built environment by keeping people to the center stage impacting development, place attachment and a larger concern of "its own identity". While perceiving my Master's program in Urban Design, we dealt with communities and city through a multidisciplinary lens considering social, morphological, anthropological, phenomenological fields through various literature and case studies to examine issues of urbanism, design, and policy in relation to social justice and inclusion.
