How does your research topic potentially change the world and why are you part of the poster competition?
In my ongoing research, I am analyzing the Design (1957-1988) periodical in the context of “Historicization”, integrated into design research with emphasis on the reflecting mirrors of changing discourses related to Art, Architecture, and design. The Poster Contest is a good opportunity to conceive architectural archives as a symposium for ideating debates related to the architectural heritage of India. I am exploring its scope to develop a connection with the institutions dealing with topics of architecture to explore newer scenes of public engagement.
