In continuation & expansion
of previous year workshop theme, the KRVIA+SPA workshop for Masters Sem: I, began with the mapping
and suggestive guidelines of metro line:1, i:e Rithala - Dilshad Garden route.
The group of 40 students divided in 10 subgroups began to examine the various station
locations along the metro route.
This year workshops marginally shifted from
earlier one, in terms of objective guidelines to subjective study of patterns
and emerging scenarios. The last two days mounted the demand of setting up an
exhibition resulted into a fine quality of summation along with streamlined argumentative
drawings. The larger wisdom of such joint workshop gives the opportunity to
read the city from different point of view. The issues are not about understanding
the difference in working methods but it’s about acknowledging the various
methods of reading and mapping the city. KRVIA began this exchange with 8 students in
earlier inception of the workshop, and now strongly represented by 22 students participating
and exchanging ideas and imagination.
The intensive interaction with
SPA faculty gave student the opportunity of transacting & articulating
ideals of comparative urbanism. For such reason that the need to expand the
exchange workshop into a semester long exchange may perhaps have larger wisdom
in strengthening the urban education in India.

KRVIA+SPA workshop is a good platform for exchange of ideas and skills. Great Work by all.
Semester exchange might be a good idea, With SPA and may be one with CEPT as well. Each institute has its own strength and students would get variety of lessons and exposures from these cities as well. May be the first semester workshops should still continue to culminate with one representative chosen from both institutes for semester exchange in second semester.
