A conclave on modern heritage in architecture sought to explore its relevance and value systems

Themed on Modern Heritage, the conference provoked issues about pedagogy and practice of architecture in India.

Speakers during Frame Conclave 2019, which was held recently in Goa.

Author and political thinker Ashis Nandy in a recent talk in New Delhi said: “We have lost the right to our future. Only from robust scepticism, mutual criticism and cross criticism can we have a variety of futures to opt for.” If one were to look back at the Frame Conclave 2019, which was held recently in Goa, the ambition of varied futures for the architectural profession that is currently firefighting on different fronts, it is a tall order. With 11 films, 26 speakers and 650 delegates, the conference was a response to “definitions of modern, modernity, and modernism” in the light of architecture and design in India.
