Rediscovering Bhadran, Architect Samira Rathod's Architectural Journey | Death of Architecture E3

Join Architect Samira Rathod as she unveils the thought-provoking showcase of her firm's contribution to the "Death of Architecture" exhibition. In her insightful presentation, she delves into the intricacies of architecture, describing them as an overture of meticulous details that enrich our spatial experiences.

Through her documentation of the abandoned town of Bhadran, nestled on the outskirts of Baroda, Architect Samira Rathod's firm embarks on a journey to uncover these architectural nuances. Their aim? To offer a fresh perspective on preservation through nostalgia.

But this endeavor goes beyond the mere capture of photographs. It involves the creation of small installations, crafted from relics discovered within the village. These installations not only serve as mementos but also stand as a testament to the village's memory.

Samira Rathod's research casts a wide net, exploring the concept of the space in between, the emotion of nostalgia, the phenomenon of death and dying, and the architectural interstitial. Her exhibit serves as a reminder that change is inevitable, and death should not signify the end of a structure, but rather the rebirth of a new design process.

"The Death of Architecture; Circa 2000" is a thought-provoking traveling exhibition thoughtfully curated by 13 of India's most forward-thinking and concerned design practices.

I’m a writer and filmmaker and i always believed architecture is one of the most wholesome and convergent art forms ever. I’ve learnt so much about filmmaking and writing from this interview that I probably haven’t in a long long time.
