The Thought Studio

The Thought Studio needs to post updates more frequently!

So today like yesterday, again in news, as member of the CHD heritage committee - evaluating the HIGH court expansion attempt.

Yet they choose to print half facts. I outlined that does the HC need 3500 cars to function? are we building courts or a 3 basement parking lot? What is critical here?

Instead, they print confusing mumbo jumbo.

every 2 years, the HC tries to add a expansion, and instead of understanding what it will take - they use boring old school urban planning. That too for a site that cannot handle it.

think... one is a joke.. the other is that we are the joke.

the last time a PM of India gave a press conference. An intelligent humble and brave fellow. vs this gujju chap who went on tv to say

wants to do puja at a temple that's not even ready in next 2 years. this is why politicians fear educated people.

was a co-member with me at the Chandigarh Heritage Committee. A Padma Shree and Padma Bhushan award winner, an eloquent connoisseur of indian paintings and strong sharp mind. Will be missed.

10 years ago.
our groundbreaking study on the Citadel of Amer, led Min of Culture to ask us to help and save the UNESCO Nomination of Hill Forts of Rajasthan. Gagron Fort had no proper evidence and record to sustain its claims to fame. That was till The Thought Studio led extraordinary insight.

We even led the visiting Experts around the Citadel of Amer, again on request.

however, 10 years ago - and still govt hasn't been able to set up a proper interpretation centre, nor proper vision for Amer.

the 21st Meeting of the powerful Chd Heritage Conservation Committee. The first post the Supreme Court order that gave the committee even greater powers in defining the controls and development of Chandigarh.

: The architecture of Everything. In 2016 led a pioneering conceptual paper - . That was a resultant of our investigations into the chaos of Delhi traffic, and the pollution crises of Delhi. Even though the studio proposed a RoRo solution to trucks through delhi - a larger conceptual realisation struck. IF we solve Delhis traffic chaos - what next? ; HOW MANY CITIES are AFFLICTED with this chaos.

The answer was a new conceptual slate to the city. principles were just for that. A new richness to city layout and usability.

TO solve the mayhem modern cities have - is now clearly a subset to a larger conceptual frame - The Architecture of Everything. The very way we decide to structure an organise every thing. A fundamental re-approach ; after stripping down all frameworks to their root essence. and then restructuring them.
