The Godrej India Culture Lab invites you to a special lecture by architect and urbanist, Rahul Mehrotra.
The masterclass will explore the idea of ‘context’ and how its understanding could be a productive instrument for the development of architecture in India. It will cover research projects ranging from the Kumbh Mela and the study of contemporary architecture to readings of emergent urban conditions in India and challenges they pose to designers.
