Brief outline of the Workshop

Art and Architecture have always been intrinsically tied together.

Cross-disciplinary explorations and collaborations between both have yielded path-breaking results as is evident in the projects of Zaha Hadid, Peter Eisenmann, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, and many more.

This workshop has been specially designed for Designers, Architects, Artists, students, and young professionals to enable them to enhance their thought process to be able to conceive works of great originality and creativity.

Participants will take up works of art, be it painting, installation, video art, mixed media, collage, etc. as a point of departure to arrive at a conceptual thought process of space making articulated in third and fourth dimensions through the digitized medium.

During the process of evolution from Art to Architecture, the work of Art chosen as inspiration will remain as a trace in the background to reveal a highly original work with a fresh expression and immense potential.
