jasubhai media pvt. ltd. is the organization that conceived of and sponsored the 3610 conference in 2015, which was an egalitarian forum on debate in architecture and design. brought to the forefront what precisely occurs behind the scenes and inside the head of an architect… when you attempt to probe behind the notion of a design, you often hear the architect or designer credit it to a random thought, amid a variety of other influences on the other hand. The conference was able to convey the progressive nature of design in the glocal world of build-and-make by taking this assumption to a higher level and going a bit farther than the hypodermis. A forum that provided impetus to the force of concepts, ideas, and execution of architecture and design was formed as a result of two and a half days of intellectually engaging design banter. Some of the banter was quite serious and energetic, while others were charming and educational. dis.architecture is the concept that… Discourse, intuition, and syntax in architecture were investigated, elaborated upon, and dissected by thirteen highly regarded key note speakers hailing from a variety of cities all over the world. The program began with the witty and talented master architect Massimiliano Fuksas from Rome, who was the first speaker to present. While a number of other architects, such as ar. boonserm premthada, dr. singh intrachooto, ar. alberto kalach, ar. premanand chandavarkar, ar. rachel neeson, and ar. vinod jayasinghe, among others, were present as speakers, their presentations and content covered a broad spectrum of different types of discourse in architecture. These discourses included everything from scrap material, music, and dance to indian mythology and sciences. Sheila Sri Prakash, an architect, expressed her opinion and provided evidence to support her philosophy of resonance versus bhavas (as in music and dance) by reiterating the responsibility of the architect to his client. She did this because she was aware of the similarities that exist between dance and architecture. “An architect is required to take into mind the location as well as the materials when they are envisioning the tale the design will follow. Subsequently, the design is brought to life by using lighting and drama to create layers. In order to illustrate this point, she provided an example from her own studio in Chennai. In this studio, she used old doors that had been carved in such an artistic manner on the ceilings. She then covered them with glass and added lights in order to create drama and also to keep important pieces of Indian art alive. When asked about the importance of using context as a source of material for a project, ar.wendell burnette emphasized that “people need to fall in love with our structures.” He recommended, “Look at the site, the surroundings/ambience, and the locally accessible material, and then design projects so that they speak to the residents/home owners/clients/patrons, etc.” As a result, practically all of his work were firmly anchored in context. feilden cleg bradley studios, which is situated in the United Kingdom, was founded by proprietor Peter Cleg. This individual, who is well recognized as a pioneer in the area of environmental design and who has accumulated more than thirty years of expertise in low-energy architecture, was able to command a crowded auditorium with his presentation on “architecture of relevance.” Another outstanding talk that went above its allotted time without a single objection was that which was delivered by ar. Ashish Ganju. In fact, it was given the honor of being honored by a cherished silence. Mostly engaged with research and the development of sustainable architecture and design in the Himalayas, he provided an interesting example of a monastery that he had created for Tibetan refugee nuns in Dharamshala. The monastery was located in the Himalayas. He took the audience on a journey through his thinking process behind the harmonious living environment by presenting them with a succession of eye-catching photos of the structure, mixed with his knowledge of ancient philosophical systems such as Buddhism and Vedanta Yoga. At the conclusion of this session, he made a request to the experts in the audience, asking them to collaborate with him in the establishment of a national museum of architecture that would be comprised of a network of museums belonging to India. Osamu Ishiyama, a Japanese architect and writer, gave a lecture that shed light on the role that architecture plays in terms of responding to natural disasters. According to him, this kind of architecture necessitates the design of man-made nature, in which the natural environment itself serves as the architectural design of a city or area. The most important thing that became clear was that any design process need to be inclusive, iterative, transactional, equitable, and reciprocal in order to be comprehensive and useful to all stakeholders.
