Course No.: 848152
Teaching: Santosh Kumar Ketham
Climate change is a critical issue, and flooding is one of the major problems affecting billions of people around the world. It is a highly important and timely topic, making it the need of the hour. Therefore, we need to collectively document, discuss, design, and develop strategies. It is high time to act, react, and reflect collectively. The strategies and ideas must be based on the specific place, climate, context, culture, crises, traditions, and locally available materials.
The course suggests that communities and institutions should collectively reflect on flooding scenarios to counter climate change in the long run. The collective method follows a bottom-up approach to study, think, build, evaluate, and negotiate the communicative formats of speculative design.
The course will be informal in nature, fostering discussions and entertaining the views of all creative individuals, drawing on their ingenuity and efforts to solve the challenge. Emphasis will be placed on harnessing collaborative learning and fostering positive innovations. Students can choose any medium for presentations, such as sketching, painting, drafting, software-produced drawings, three-dimensional models, physical models, or photographs. It is important that a layperson can understand the speculative designs when they are exhibited.
Public Exhibition and Publication: Quality and profound projects will be showcased.
