New Delhi [India], March 5: The Avani Institute of Design hosts the traveling exhibition Architectures of Transition: Emergent Practices in South Asia. The exhibition was inaugurated on February 16, 2025, marking an important moment in architectural discourse. It showcases the work of 41 emerging architecture practices from across South Asia. The exhibition was open to public at the Avani Design Lab, Kozhikode from February 17 to 23, 2025, between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM and will further be showcased at the Rotary Club, Kochi on March 01 and 02, 2025.
“The essence of architecture lies in its ability to adapt, respond, and create meaningful connections with people and places. Architectures of Transition brings to light the evolving narratives of South Asia, where architects are not just designing spaces but shaping the future of communities through innovation and empathy,” said Ar. Tony Joseph, Chairman, Avani Institute of Design.
Curated by renowned architects Rahul Mehrotra, Devashree Shah, and Pranav Thole, the exhibition presents an in-depth exploration of how architectural practices engage with the public realm through methodologies, patronage, and emergent construction techniques. It further emphasizes participatory frameworks, addressing social and humane aspects of architecture in rapidly evolving socio-economic and environmental conditions. The exhibition is part of the broader research initiative, State of Architecture in South Asia, which probes the relevance and impact of architecture in a region undergoing significant transformations. Through this initiative, it raises questions about architecture’s role amidst the pressing realities of climate change, political shifts, and socio-economic upheavals.
