Over the past seven years, Indian Architect & Builder Magazine’s (IA&B) 361° Conference has evolved into the singular most relevant platform for discussion and discourse on architecture and design in India. Since its inception, the conference has captured the progressive nature of design, creating a forum for emerging and influential practices in India. As an eclectic, thought-provoking and egalitarian platform, 361° in its eighth edition will continue to celebrate the power of thoughts and ideas and initiate a truly relevant dialogue on architecture and design.
The theme of 361°’s 8th edition is “DIS.ARCHITECTURE: Discourse, Intuition and Syntax in Architecture.” Discourse entails intuition (hypothesis), analysis and establishment of a syntax (structure). The evolution of architecture and architectural pedagogy builds on the works of others. Appraisals, criticisms, judgments, comparisons, reflections, reviews and confrontations are all types of tests. The 361 Degrees Conference will attempt to initiate a discourse on methods of critical appraisal between eminent architects and critics.
