Contemporary Indian Houses

The hashtag allows moving away from categorization into typologies and classification by climate, size, style, etc. to create new affinities among hitherto non-connected buildings for instant access to similar creative expressions / elements. Buildings become linked by ideas and elements. The categories become fluid and the connections extensive. One moves from a hierarchical classification to a lateral and more fluid, sometimes even tenuous connection.

Geethu Gangadhar raises an important question: whether this removal is a way to eradicate colonial baggage or systemic removal of history.

Architecture, Power, and the Poor | “As a profession, architecture lacks moral position and has become complicit in the neoliberal dispossession of the poor.”—Vivek Rawal

Even movements like sustainability and participation, he says, often become tools for elite consumption rather than genuine empowerment.
