Adobe – also known as kacchi eeth – are sun dried bricks, meaning they are not kiln fired. These are made by mixing mainly mud and water. The composition of the soil being used is important and additional clay or sand is added to reach an ideal mix.

Soil identification, therefore, becomes of utmost importance while making your own adobes. 

What will you learn?

– Soil composition and texture 

– Soil identification 

– Adobe Composition

– Making your own Adobes

– Brick testing on site (without lab)

This is a hands-on workshop, so you will be making adobes practically.

A Modernist’s Doubt: Symbolism and the Late Career Turn

Why did acclaimed modernist architects suddenly introduce historical symbolism like arches, decorative elements, and other cultural references into their work after decades of disciplined restraint? Sudipto Ghosh interrogates this 1980s-90s symbolic turn as a rupture in architecture, questioning whether this represents an authentic reconnection with content and memory, or is it a mere superficial gesture towards absent meanings.
