Designs Of The Time
The New Indian Express Kochi
|March 01, 2025
Architecture has many facets. It's not always about building the tallest skyscraper or the most posh resort. Sometimes, it's also about the homes we live in, the schools we study in, the bus stands we congregate at, and the museums that house our past.
The three-day exhibition being held at the Rotary Club in Panampilly Nagar is about just that. Through the works of the students and teachers of the Avani Institute of Design in Kozhikode, the first part of the exhibition showcases the inner workings of architectural designs.
The second part, titled 'Emergent Practices in South Asia', held in the same venue, offers a glimpse of how architecture unites different nations together.
The mobile exhibition that aims to take designs to the common people, inaugurated on Friday by artist Bose Krishnamachari, is curated by noted architects Rahul Mehrotra, Devashree Shah and Pranav Vohra. It provides a glimpse into the emerging architectural practices of countries such as India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka.
