We are almost there! Almost.

We are almost there! Almost. Realising the fact that architecture information in India is very scattered, unorganized and difficult to find, ArchitectureLive!, is bringing an interactive platform for all architects, interior designers, students and educators in India where architectural information can not only be found, but also contributed and shared. Ofcourse, this all will be done in phases and the first phase is almost here, Projects.
Realising the fact that architecture information in India is very scattered, unorganized, and difficult to find, ArchitectureLive!, is bringing an interactive platform for all architects, interior designers, students, and educators in India where architectural information can not only be found but also contributed and shared. Of course, this all will be done in phases and the first phase is almost here—Projects.
 
Projects on ArchitectureLive! will be published in a unique way which will make it easier for all to find and view only the related content. One would be able to find projects using a combination of various attributes, like,
  • Name of the project
  • Name of the Designer
  • Climate
  • Materials Used
  • Form
  • Topography
  • Location
  • Category or Type of Project
  • Keywords (of course!)
 
This should also allow users to look for a building based on the following statement,
 
A circular building on a sloping site inhot and dry climate.
 
Interesting, isn’t it? The above statement, though, only covers three attributes (Form, Topography and Climate), but there is a possibility to add more attributes to it. Obviously, this isn’t as easy as it sounds. Wait, it is easy. Just that one has to make sure that the project uploaded on ArchitectureLive! carries as much information as possible.
 
Our objective is to make architectural information easily accessible to you all. And, we are coming soon.
 
Cheers!
 
ArchitectureLive!

“If the received wisdom of this Western historiography is Eurocentric and subjective, how do we trace the evolution of architectural consciousness in India?”—Jaimini Mehta

The essay is the second of a three-part series of preview essays for Jaimini Mehta’s forthcoming book, Sense of Itihasa; Architecture and History in Modern India. He explores how colonial perspectives distorted Indian architectural history, arguing that indigenous architectural theories existed beyond Eurocentric interpretations, with the mandala symbolizing a deeper conceptual understanding of cosmic and spatial design.

Jaimini Mehta - Architecture and History

“Unless you ask these questions, you will not realise that it is not history but the perception of history that needs to be revisited.”—Jaimini Mehta

The essay is the first of a three-part series of preview essays for Jaimini Mehta’s forthcoming book, Sense of Itihasa; Architecture and History in Modern India.
The book analyses the works of several contemporary, post-independence Indian architects to demonstrate that since independence, they have revitalized traditional architectural elements and techniques, drawing inspiration from India’s itihasa.
