LOUIS I KAHN (LIK) Trophy

TROPHIES , LIK 17-Nov-2021

The Louis Kahn Trophy established by Vastu Shilpa Foundation with Sir B. V. Doshi and family is a stepback into the lives of our people who have built structures that still act as one of the main elements that defineour country and our culture. This year the trophy talks about Infill Architecture, which means to say that whena project gets situated in a specific discernible context where how it fits becomes a matter of concern, we maylook upon it as an infill. A current observation states how structures these days have been standing ignorant totheir surroundings, they lack context which will impact students of this profession. It speaks about howbuildings in the same radius are in context to the main cultural structure. The aim this year is to documentsites, projects and designs which best represent the connection between the context and architecture, withoriginality seen in documentation. The broader and immediate contexts need to be understood in terms ofhistorical elements, climatic impacts, past trends, functional connect, community traditions, existingarchitecture in the adjoining sites and such others. Issues of urban aesthetics like volumes, massing, scale,skyline, wall window ratios, materiality and many other such theories will enrich the analysis.
