Meraki 2020
Dr.Baliram Hiray College Of Architecture impeccably concluded the seventh session of the annual seminar series, MERAKI, on the 11th and 12th of September 2020.
In the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic which put the world at a standstill, Meraki was conducted in the form of a Webinar on ZOOM for the first time.
The theme for 'Meraki 2020' was Metamorphosis, where we metaphorically compare the actual process in nature along with the architects' works from their initial days in this field to the present.
Meraki 2020 successfully inculcated a sense of harmony towards 'designing for the people' in the minds of the attendees through the respective journeys of the renowned Architects; the digital webinar was equally as polarizing as the seminars have been in the past.
Meraki 2020 invited a panel of world-class architects from India and around the world :
- Ar.Joseph Noero (FAIA,RIBA), Noero Architects, South Africa.
- Ar.Bijoy Ramachandran, Hundredhands, Bangalore.
