How much water does a person need?
Who ensures that this need is met?
Is there enough water for everybody?
With growing urbanisation across India, many towns and cities are crying for more water. Is the shortage due to a lack of resources or due to poor management? Located in Bangalore, the film Water and a City, traces the journey of water into and out of urban homes. Along this journey, it looks at access to water for the poor, the politics of water pricing, urban India’s continuous exploitation of natural resources, and explores possible alternatives for a sustainable water future.
SWATI DANDEKAR
Swati Dandekar is a documentary film practitioner with a special interest in creating critical visual narratives of the everyday – people, places, practices, livelihoods, and the many voices in which they speak.
Swati’s recent work is an exploration of the embodied nature of traditional textile practices in India through ethnographic and documentary expressions.
Dandekar’s past film work looked at urban India, particularly the changes taking place in small towns and cities, and the impact of these changes on people's lives. taken in Chennai,Tamilnadu by @techne.materials.lab

ROOTS DIALOGUES 2024

Modelling Extremes

JOHN DOYLE

School of Architecture and Urban Design,
RMIT University

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86137822149?pwd=Evhr6NJPwbpyvrBcYOTA63S9E68byk.1

Passcode: 361846

This talk will explore recent urban research in RMIT University’s School of Architecture & Urban Design – Super Urban Lab. At RMIT research in urbanism is undertaken through design practice – through the development of speculative scenarios and spatial modelling of economic, technological and policy proposals. ‘Modelling Extremes’ refers to the practice of pursuing a particular position or approach through to its logical conclusion, with the intent of revealing unexpected outcomes and alternative propositions for cities.

JOHN DOYLE is an Associate Professor in the School of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT University, where he is the Associate Dean and Head of Architecture. He is a registered practising architect and partner at Common ADR, a Melbourne based architecture firm focusing on public projects. John’s research practice uses architectural design tools to explore innovative models for urban design. Recently, his research has focused on rapid urbanisation in megacities throughout Asia. This research has developed a series of high-density urban models to address the challenges related to climate change, as well as equity, affordability, and food security. His work has been exhibited widely, including at the Shenzhen, Seoul, Rotterdam, Tallinn and Venice architecture biennales. He is the co-author of “Supertight: Models for Living and Making Culture in Dense Urban Environments,” and “House Precinct Territory: Design Strategies for the Productive City.”

ABARI is a socially and environmentally committed research, design and construction firm that examines, encourages, and celebrates the vernacular architectural tradition of Nepal. As Nepal possess sophisticated traditional knowledge of natural materials like adobes, bamboos, stones and reed, ABARI as a research and design firm that tries to promulgate these materials into contemporary design practices.

Nripal Adhikary is a graduate of City College of New York. He founded ABARI in 2007 in order to reappropriate traditional materials like bamboo and earth in the contemporary architectural context. When Earthquake of April, 2015 struck Nepal, all of his structures survived unscathed including two buildings that were built at the epicenter. In the last 5 years, he has built many structures like government schools, libraries, community centers, homes and luxury hotels.
One of his biggest achievements has been to provide new reputation to the dying building craft. Pre-earthquake people thought bamboo and earth was weak and retro, while now his buildings are coming up in major urban areas of Nepal.
He has mobilized farmers to plant bamboo along the riverbanks of Chitwan, which apart from restoring land provides income through various craft based opportunities. He teaches at Kathmandu University and has trained hundreds of architects and artisans. He was the Finalist of 2018 Architectural Review Emerging Architects award.

ROOTS DIALOGUES 2024
The ROOTS Dialogues were initiated
In the 1990s and have evolved over the last few decades as an intersection of environment, habitat, social sciences, architecture, planning, technology and other related disciplines.

Steven Holl: “Urbanisms: working with doubt”
In his editorial for Domus, our guest editor illustrates doubts and hopes about the future of cities through an analysis of seven different metropolises.

Today, working with doubt is unavoidable. The absolute is suspended by the relative and the interactive. Instead of stable systems, we must work with dynamic systems. Rather than simple and clear programmes, we engage contingent and diverse programmes. We no longer work within a framework of precision and perfection, but with intermittent, crossbred systems and combined methods. Suspending disbelief and adopting a global understanding is today an a priori condition, a new fundamental for creative work in science, urbanism and architecture.
