Time: 1.00 pm -5.30 pm (IST)/ 8.30 am – 1.00 pm Vienna Time
The thematic track ‘TRANSFER’ has three sub-themes: Evolving Typology, Scaling-Up and Skilling-Up.
The upcoming sub-theme Scaling-Up, explores the implications of projecting mud as a mainstream material of the people. It examines the challenges, when the uses are transferred from private to the public realm. This transfer brings about formational and technological changes of its scale, sophistication, aesthetics and commodification.
Scaling-Up of mud with new techniques and methods, raises questions of authenticity of its application to contemporary urban users.
