Architectural Writing
Get all your doubts about writing, curating and communicating in architecture answered by Ar Apurva Bose Dutta
The profession of architecture has become representative of the society we live in. Arguably the most public art that affects the human psychology most profoundly, it also happens to be the least discussed. Everyone does care about architecture, whether it’s the architect or the builder or the user. But it is true that somewhere the lack of a common language to talk about the built environment makes the profession of architecture less understood too. The need for communication in architecture, which could be through different mediums has been universally felt.
Over the years, Architectural Journalism has emerged as a language, which doesn’t help only to interpret, identify and celebrate the built environment, but can also provide visions to create demand for better buildings, leading to better societies and culminating in a better living environment. While the subject is on the verge of establishing itself as a very-much needed field for the architecture, design and building industry; however, due to no concrete history of architectural journalism in India, the subject does find itself, particularly in India, shrouded with many questions, myths and the lack of awareness of the avenues one can explore through it.
