AHMEDABAD, NOV 20
To help the architects and architect aspirants as well as the media, city-based Anant National University is hosting a panel discussion on “Writing on Architecture” as part of its Heritage Matters Webinar 11. The online panel discussion will be held on Saturday, November 30 at 7:00 pm, a university release said.
The Webinar will build on comprehending ‘architectural writing’ in India – which comes with no defined concrete history. It shall briefly discuss the extent to which writing on architecture is accessible, relevant, and contextual. It shall dwell into its multi-faceted impact, genres & structures that govern it.
The panel will comprise Dr Wiendu Nuryanti, Professor in Architecture and Planning, Gadjah Mada University and former Vice-Minister of Education and Culture, Indonesia (2011-2014); Nandini Somaya Sampat, Architect/ Solicitor and Director, SNK Somaya & Kalappa Consultants; and Ar Neha Nair, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Architecture, Anant National University.
It will be hosted by Dr Amareswar Galla, Professor of Inclusive Cultural Leadership, Anant National University, India, and the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum, Australia.
The webinar will throw light on “Can architecture writing expand beyond its disciplinary boundaries and be accessible across specialisms, including tourism and journalism? Could we promote a genre of writing architecture that is independent and not pre-conditioned? The discussion shall emphasize how the practice of writing architecture in local languages in a postcolonial context is much wanted.”
The webinar is open for the students, Faculty of Architecture, young and established architects, people with media and architecture background who are passionate about writing, the release added.
