Announcement
ArchiDiaries is launching a series of live interviews called “Technology in Architecture” with some of the best practices, professionals, researchers, academicians and engineers, who have dedicated their efforts towards scientific and technical advancement in the field. ‘Technology in Architecture’ is very different from ‘Architectural Technology’. The latter essentially focuses on use of Technology in designing of buildings and its construction. Whereas the former encompasses the use of a variety of advanced technology in all aspects of architecture ranging from decision making, resource management, impact analysis to design and construction.
Our first guest Prof Gurdev Singh will talk about “Structures in Architecture, A PROCESS” on January 16th, 2021. Interested people can join this conversation on Facebook live at 11:00 AM (GMT + 5:30).
In this talk, Prof Gurdev Singh will discuss how Structure in Architecture is a process rather than a product. He believes that for learning, it is important to take a step beyond what you already know, followed by intense exploration. In this process of exploration learning by making, learning from nature and learning from your own body becomes very important. The talk will take you through this process in his teachings and explorations and will have images of students’ work in progress.
