Wall As a Public Space
“To read public space only as a spatial condition, as a matter of square footage, zoning, or physical access, is to miss half the picture.”
—Reshma Esther Thomas

Reshma Esther Thomas examines how Hyderabad’s flyover pillars, painted with Cheriyal-style murals under the GHMC’s ‘City Art Scape’ initiative, reveal the paradox of managed public space. What appears to be beautification is actually cultural assertion in the wake of the 2014 bifurcation, bureaucratising a surface that once belonged to those without institutional power.

The Map That Was Never Yours
“If publicness is reduced to what is legally accessible, then these landscapes were never public to begin with.”
—V.V. Kusum Priya

As part of our editorial: What makes a space public?, V.V. Kusum Priya argues that Section 39A of Goa’s 2024 Town and Country Planning Act this isn’t just a legal issue, and that it’s the erosion of an unrecognised but collectively sustained commons, and a question of what “public” really means and who benefits from the legislations surrounding this.

Life on the public spaces in downtown Calcutta. Source - Wikimedia


“Appropriation of public spaces is the genesis of political movements, of ideological apparatus, and of endangering the city’s multi-dimensional fabric.”
—Dr. Seema Khanwalkar

Dr. Seema Khanwalkar, explores how the public spaces in India are dynamic, contested areas shaped by informal economies, migration, and social negotiation. She reveals how the transactional activities democratise ownership of these spaces, while the political and religious appropriation increasingly displaces this organic vitality, creating exclusion and anxiety. This shrinking of inclusive public space threatens urban social fabric, yet remains largely absent from city planning conversations, making it a far deeper crisis than mere encroachment.

Sen Kapadia


“… people like Sen [Kapadia] don’t really leave. They become the questions we continue to ask.”
—A Tribute by Nuru Karim

Nuru Karim reflects on his relationship with Sen Kapadia through three transformative “states of being”—as a student, as a studio colleague, and as an independent professional. To capture Sen’s essence, Karim draws on three powerful metaphors: a mountain (commanding yet silent), a banyan tree (generous and sheltering), and a river (unseen yet ever-present). Together, these images paint a portrait of a man whose quiet depth left an indelible mark on all who encountered him.

Sen Kapadia

Nirbhaya Nirgun
“Sen [Kapadia] found his own light early. He followed it without apology and without detour, and never let anyone dim it.”
—A Tribute by Pinkish Shah

Pinkish Shah’s homage to Sen Kapadia, celebrates him as fearless and formless in both life and work. Intellectually rooted in Louis Kahn and Sri Aurobindo, Sen pursued architecture that transcended form toward essential silence. Known for his courage, he maintained quiet, unwavering independence throughout his career.

Prof Shireesh Atmaram Deshpande

“Professor Shireesh Deshpande chose the far more difficult task: to mould young minds into thoughtful, responsible, and rooted architects.”—A Tribute by Sarbjit Singh Bagha

Sarbjit Singh Bagha shares his tribute to Prof. Shireesh Atmaram Deshpande (1934–2026), a pioneering figure in Indian architectural education who passed away on 10 April 2026 at 91.

He served as President of the Indian Institute of Architects (1992–1994). Choosing teaching over professional practice, he shaped generations of architects.
