Designed by [ar&de], Lecake is a cake shop in Calicut, conceived with a cantilevered box sticking out of the shop’s façade calling attention to passers-by while also being the ‘shop window’.
What value can Architects add to society? – Aabid Raheem
The Architectural Invocation Project, by SEED, is essentially a campaign of hope towards a more meaningful future for architecture and design. It attempts to articulate critical questions concerning the academics and practice of Architecture through significant practitioners in the country. The extremely short duration of the video bite makes it both challenging and absorbing, thereby presenting itself as small packets of wisdom. As a new school, seed will attempt to assimilate these into an organic academic spirit which is beneficial for the students, parents and the peers.
Stay inspired. Curious.
