Sharing our Insights

As I had mentioned yesterday, the methods of working and the processes at Sandarbh have been increasingly conducive to my development as an architect. Although we are getting to enjoy the fruits of these processes, Sai and Leena have been working on putting them together for quite some time now. As the processes were refined further, invariably the results got better too!
The knowledge and experience that Sai has gained over the last 2 decades are something that he would like to share with other budding architects as well - not just those of us who are working at Sandarbh but beyond that also.
As the workshop constantly evolves on a daily basis, another one of the dreams is to set up learning programmes - whether in the form of an apprenticeship (which would be more long term) or in the form of lectures, presentations, hands-on workshop sessions organised at regular intervals.
With a programme like this we are not looking for hobby enthusiasts but instead we are trying to bring together a diverse range of people with a passion and seriousness for architecture.
The idea is to start at the very root - right when one is looking to decide whether they want to do architecture - typically at the 10th grade level. We believe that the interaction must start there , continue through the 5 years of architectural education and for a couple of years beyond that too. Essentially this would be our focus group - the group of people we would consider for both long and short term learning programmes.
Why as architects are we so keen on sharing our insights and our experince with such a diverse range of people with one common interest? Read on ad you'll know why...
