- 

Curated by the city's leading academician, author, researcher as well as practising architect, Yatin Pandya, Principal Architect, FOOTPRINTS E.A.R.T.H. (Environment Architecture Research Technology Housing), a constructive debate on Traditional Design vs Technologyfocused Design gave a lot of food for thought and invited interest from the panelists as well as the audience. The interactive discussion kick started with a presentation by Partha Karmakar, Business Head, Professional Lighting, Havells India, on the role of light in improving productivity and comfort in spaces and showcased how technology could be smartly used to create conducive environments in all kinds of spaces. He shared, "When it comes to technology, most people tend to think of it from an engineering point of view and ignore the human aspect, which is what we at Havells like to do by marrying the two." He further reinstated that a deeper knowledge of tradition helped to anchor ourselves rightly. "It acts as the 'light house' which can provide the reference point in design direction and the choices we make," he said.
