Speculative Architecture Program at CEPT Ahmedabad

At CEPT College, we experimented with one thing new: bringing movie, recreation design, and structure into the identical room to think about the world of Maya, a large-scale science-fiction undertaking. Along with Anand Gandhi and architect-educator Shikha Parmar, I co-tutored a studio the place college students handled Maya’s planet as a design downside on the scale of whole ecosystems. They labored by means of questions of species, local weather, and materials, and the way structure would possibly reply to unusual constraints. The tasks ranged from bioengineered habitats to multi-species marketplaces to cities formed by uncommon geology. The primary two batches of this work have been just lately exhibited at IFBE in Mumbai, alongside conversations with Shikha Parmar, Sameep Padora, Vinu Daniel, and myself.
