"Contemporary India: Architecture in the Time of Euphoria... and Post-Euphoria"

a talk by Kazi K. Ashraf.

India's architectural and urban landscape is being remade in exuberant ways at a defining moment in its history. India is now a critical site of unprecedented urban, social and territorial rearrangements that are both exhilarating and paradoxical. A euphoric urbanism, triggered by new economic growths, mediatic technology and transnational practices, is also intersected by various paradoxes. Where does architecture sit in that landscape?

Kazi K. Ashraf teaches at the School of Architecture and writes on the history and theory of architecture. One of his interests is architecture in Asia, particularly South Asia. His recently edited volume of "Architectural Design" titled "Made in India" received the International Committee of Architectural Critics Award from UIA (International Union of Architects).
