It is an honest, layered, and deeply relevant exchange on what architecture must stand for today. Key themes in the episode include continuity in practice, collaborative thinking, why the city is the most urgent concern today, and why architects must be heard in conversations about urban change.DesignFM supported by BirlaNu Parador & Asahi Glass Pvt Ltd curated by Eztablish in association with FOAID---Subscribe and turn on notifications: https://www.youtube.com/c/FOAIDindiaListen on 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/foaidindia𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 ► 𝗙𝗢𝗔𝗜𝗗 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮: https://www.instagram.com/foaidindia.in/𝗘𝘇𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: https://www.instagram.com/eztablish/𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗙𝗠 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 -BirlaNu Parador: https://www.instagram.com/birlanu_/Asahi Glass: https://www.instagram.com/ais_glass/

Stay tuned as we roll out powerful conversations featuring leading names from the industry.

Brace yourself for a whirlwind of ideas with Naresh Narasimhan who shares a fresh perspective on architecture and its philosophy. In this captivating chat, we try to answer questions such as - Why are we still stuck with subpar infrastructure? Will AI replace Architects? Ever heard of urban acupuncture and why is it essential? Why not tap into the deep well of our ancient culture and philosophy to drive our progress in today's world?

Naresh, who also happens to be an actor, argues that an architect can be almost anything and rightfully so when you listen to his reasoning.
