About the Event

Avid Learning, in collaboration with Art Deco Mumbai, presents Decoding Art Deco: Revisiting Modernity, the second workshop on one of the most iconic architectural and design styles of Bombay - Art Deco, or, Bombay Deco, as architectural historians have dubbed it. With over two hundred Art Decostyle structures, Mumbai is second only to Miami in its art deco tradition.


This workshop will be conducted by conservation architect Vikas Dilawari and founder of Art Deco Mumbai, Atul Kumar. Art Deco Mumbai is a pioneering philanthropic initiative attempting to engage with the people of Mumbai while creating awareness and an understanding about the city’s heritage.


This workshop will decipher the beautiful and compelling minutiae of art deco architecture with a special focus on conservation efforts and techniques. The experts will also probe the way art deco has shaped Bombay’s architectural style and urban landscape.


This discussion will be part of the Multipolis Mumbai series, which decodes the past while looking to the future and finding novel ways of engaging, interacting with, and re-energizing the city that everyone loves! Under this umbrella, they continue to take a closer look at the city’s built heritage and its architectural and urban historical developments, charting the way businesses, brands, philanthropic individuals, and now, architects have influenced the way this city’s appearance has been shaped.


Atul will examine how art deco as a style became symbolic of change and modernity in the 1930s, and was adopted by architects shaping the city’s fast-developing areas like Marine Drive and Oval Maidan, to give a distinictive futuristic aesthetic to an emerging Indian identity.


Vikas will provide a rare perspective from the conservation architect’s point-of-view, on the challenges and methods of preserving some fine examples of the style from around the city.


Learn more about this innovative, urbane and glamorous style that has been largely neglected but has seen a resurgence of interest recently. There also will be an opportunity to get up close and personal with Bombay Deco on a specially curated walking tour that takes you into the very heart of south Mumbai’s art deco heritage precincts as part of this immersive workshop.

Workshop Highlights Include
Historical overview on Bombay’s architectural history and development pre and post - the advent of Art Deco.
Comprehensive historical overview of art deco style.
Learn to identify, locate and examine examples of art deco architecture from around the city.
Learn to conserve and preserve heritage buildings especially art deco style.

Come rewind, explore and discover a beautiful and forgotten part of the city’s built heritage.
