Architecture is not an inspirational business, it’s a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that’s all.

First Blog Wunderlust Post of the Year

Mass- production is the realm of the industrial designer and the process engineer – so let them maintain claim over that territory. The bespoke is the true specialty of the architect and the contemporary profession has more facility than ever to implement difference in the most intelligent of ways.

361° Conference 2014: Architecture and Identity

January 9, 2014January 9, 2014 Foamboards

The 361° Conference, an initiative by Indian Architect & Builder to create a relevant platform for dialogue on architecture in India, will take place on February 19th to the 21st in Mumbai. This year’s edition, based on the theme of “Architecture and Identity,” will include renowned speakers, including Steven Holl and Dr. B V Doshi. More details, after the break…

Conference Description

One of the oldest design forums in India, the 361° Conference is an initiative by Indian Architect & Builder (IA&B) to inspire a thought-exchange programme on relevant ideas in architecture and critical concerns of the discipline and thus, create a relevant and serious platform for dialogue on architecture in India.

The seventh edition of the 361° Conference is scheduled for the 19^th-21^st February 2014 at the Nehru Centre, Mumbai. This edition will deliberate on the theme ‘Architecture and Identity’. In the context of architecture, as we move further in the 21st century, we find incredibly diverse and individual trajectories of academia, practice and building. Within this diversity, we find a consistent struggle by individuals and groups to anchor ideas to their appropriate roots. Introspective and reflective in its essence, this search for the origins or the fundamentals is critical in contemporary architecture as the search is what determines the trajectory. This Conference will focus on the people and practices that have an investment in the idea of identity; whose work takes a critical position on this issue.

Speakers

Dr B V Doshi, India; Steven Holl, USA; William J R Curtis, France; Aniket Bhagwat, India; SPASM, India; Channa Daswatte, Sri Lanka; Dominic Sansoni, Sri Lanka; Minakshi Jain, India; Rick Joy, USA; Hector Fernandez Elorza, Spain; Lars Müller, Switzerland; and Kashef Mahboob Chowdhury, Bangladesh; Atelier Vylder Vinck Taillieu, Belgium; Carin Smuts, South Africa & Emre Arolat, Turkey.

Five Architecture And Urban Planning Trends We Hope To See More Of In 2014

December 30, 2013December 30, 2013 Foamboards

As 2013 comes to a close, we are taking the opportunity to look back on the memorable trends that have influenced the larger dialogue of architecture and urban design. From the beach-side city of Miami slowly transforming into the USA’s next design center, to a mushrooming of super-tall skyscrapers competing for the distinction of “world’s tallest building,” to proposals for entire cities that function on renewable energy and sustainable building practices, 2013 may be remembered best for the proposals by big-named architects seeking to claim attention-grabbing titles over the next couple of years. The upcoming year presents numerous challenges to architects, especially in solving issues of sustainability and climate change, an ever increasing income gap in our largest cities, and planning for the smart growth of cities, especially as the world’s population becomes increasingly urbanized. Looking forward to the next year, here are the architecture and planning trends that we hope to see more of in 2014. 1. Adapting coastal cities to climate change through resilient design The profound devastation experienced throughout the New York Metropolitan area in the wake of Hurricane Sandy made us come face-to-face with a dismal reality: as worldwide carbon levels in the atmosphere continue to …

2014 Architecture Wall Calendar

December 20, 2013December 20, 2013 Foamboards

Architects have been described as artists using building lots as their canvas and the stunning examples of their work found in the 2014 Architecture calendar show this to be true. Twelve glorious photos of iconic architectural projects including the Sydney Opera house in Australia provide a visual treat for the eyes while giving a new appreciation for what the designer of a large scale project is visualizing them stand in front of a blank open space.
