The Louis Kahn Trophy established by Vastu Shilpa Foundation with Sir B. V. Doshi and family is a step
back into the lives of our people who have built structures that still act as one of the main elements that define
our country and our culture. This year the trophy talks about Infill Architecture, which means to say that when
a project gets situated in a specific discernible context where how it fits becomes a matter of concern, we may
look upon it as an infill. A current observation states how structures these days have been standing ignorant to
their surroundings, they lack context which will impact students of this profession. It speaks about how
buildings in the same radius are in context to the main cultural structure. The aim this year is to document
sites, projects and designs which best represent the connection between the context and architecture, with
originality seen in documentation. The broader and immediate contexts need to be understood in terms of
historical elements, climatic impacts, past trends, functional connect, community traditions, existing
architecture 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. Students from
won Citation and Students from won Special Mention.
