Quadrant 2016 : Annual Conference
- New Panvel AIKTC 2016
Quadrant in its inaugural year was a huge success. We had speakers from various streams of design who came, shared their
ideas and experiences and deliberated on the discussion of design processes. The theme for the conference was design process across the Quadrant of theory, practice, technology looked through colored lenses of culture.
Design lies in the continuum between theory and practice. Theory is the philosophical seed for the inception of new ideas and practice is the execution of these ideas in built-form. Graphically, theory and practice generate a two dimensional quadrant within which the design is incubated and executed. However, theory and practice are always guided by advances in technology. The quadrant grows a third dimension of technology.
In its inaugural year, Quadrant focuses on the process of ‘Architecting’. It looks at the varied moments in the journey of design. The journey begins with a belief system, an ideology for the intent of the intervention. The intent is the theoretical backing for the orientation of the project; it can be as deeply rooted as sustainability or as popular (in terms of its quantitative presence) as the architecture of the builders’ lobby today. The intent of the project (theory) is supported by research, data collation, comparison and analysis to understand the scope and possibilities of the project. The project can have a tabula rasa opportunity (design) or could be an intervention in an existing context (redesign). The idea is practiced and executed and
is ready to be used and experienced. The intent has been judged by peers and the users. In this conference we looked at the entire spectrum of possibilities in design. The conference brought together designers of visuals, product, space, module, structure, complex and technology. Discussion ranged from furniture and accessories, films and theories, posters and compositions, interior design experiments, innovation and technological advances in passive and active design, inclusive design, theories in design, affordable housing, ergonomics and behavioral sciences influencing sustainable practices, energy efficiency, building management systems, energy generation, water efficiency, rainwater harvesting, waste water
management, waste segregation and management and recycling at the building level and many other things that fell into the scope of design. We have four main categories under which we will discuss the paper. The categories are based on scale and size (physical) of the project. Find appended below the list of categories and speakers alongside their specialization.
