Indian Architecture: Tradition, Texts and Principles
A talk by Dr Sudhir Lall, Project Director of Vedic Heritage Portal & Bharat Vidya Prayojana and Senior Faculty, Kalakosa Division, IGNCA, explaining the contextual background of the Indian arts and the cyclic notion of time observed in Indic thought – and how this leads to architecture that is functional, aesthetically fulfilling and in harmony with nature.  

The talk will be followed by a dialogue with Anisha Shekhar Mukherji, Conservation Architect, Author and Visiting Faculty at S.P.A. Delhi.

The third in the bi-monthly series structured around dialogues that endeavour to present the role of architecture in contributing positively to society and to culture. Conceptualised by Anisha Shekhar Mukherji, the series, through interactions with practitioners and scholars, intends to engage with a wide variety of people – professionals and lay-persons alike.
