As declared before, the second session of Discourse on the topic ‘Theories and Manifestos of Architecture’ By NR Khan is going to be held on coming Saturday Afternoon.
On the first session we talked about the preliminary theories of architecture relating from history to present. Now on these upcoming sessions architect NR Khan will focus on more in depth discussion on contemporary theories.
Everyone is invited.

We often are not very much aware about ‘why’ we are doing ‘what’ on design table.
Whatever we are designing in architecture we are doing it out of our gathered knowledge. And knowingly or unknowingly we are following some styles and we are ruled by some subconscious philosophies.
It’s very necessary to take the subconscious philosophies in to light. Lets do things ‘consciously’ and ‘knowingly’. We should know the specific answers of ‘why’ of our design.

To achieve this consciousness we must be aware about the past, present and the upcoming theories and manifestos of architecture.
Lets start the journey….

Architect Nurur Rahman Khan (Jumu) is going to take four sequel lectures on the ‘Theories and Manifestos of Architecture’ in Discourse starting from tomorrow.
Tomorrow it will be the first Discourse on this topic.
Everyone is invited to join in these exclusive Discourse sessions. Keep a look on Discourse98.com and ArchSociety for regular updates.
