THE NEW FACE OF ARCHITECTURE: THE ADVENT OF TECHNOLOGY- WITH VIVEK GUPTA & MANISH GULATI

Technology has revolutionised the world of design and architecture.

- Seema Sreedharan

The influx of technology has altered both the process and the result. From computational design, 3D printing, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, and now AI, the architectural landscape has certainly witnessed a tectonic shift. From increasing efficiency, reducing time, aiding collaboration to opening up a window of possibilities that could not have been imagined just a decade ago, technology has certainly altered the world of architecture. While some believe that technology has deprived architecture of its intuitiveness, others believe that it has truly accelerated the process, increased accuracy, and even the longevity of the buildings. There are some architects who are apprehensive about embracing technology; there are others who are constantly experimenting, adopting and adapting to the changing landscape.

In this segment of Design Dialogues, our topic of discussion is the impact of technology in the field of design. We bring together two design visionaries—Vivek Gupta, Principal Architect, Arvind Vivek Associates and Manish Gulati, Founder, Manifestation of Fluid Architecture (M.OFA) to engage in a discussion on how technology has led, aided, or accelerated the evolution of architecture. Is it a tool for advancement? Is it the bane of imagination, creativity and intuitiveness? Can we envision a future where technology seamlessly integrates with architecture to create sustainable, intelligent, and beautiful spaces?

We will let Vivek and Manish answer these questions. Read on…
