“From Settlements to Urban Experience: Integrating Planning, Form & People”

👨‍🏫 Led by Dr. Navjit Gaurav, Assistant Professor, Department of Architecture and Planning, IIT Roorkee

The session challenged conventional thinking by encouraging students to unlearn predefined design solutions and instead focus on understanding the context, questioning assumptions, and reflecting on whether a problem truly exists.

💭 Students engaged in critical discussions, urban observations, and reflective thinking—shifting from solution-driven approaches to problem-framing and human-centered understanding.

A truly thought-provoking and enriching experience!
