This trophy always aims high, by challenging ourselves to understand Kahn, his idea of the vernacular and thus the idea of architecture itself. The theme “Vernacular Traditions- contemporary architecture” intended to look at modern buildings where local and traditional characters found an expression. It included collecting and analyzing information on a chosen project designed by an Indian Architect during the last twenty years which reflect time tested design principles from our past for our future.
