KRVIA Condolence Meeting

A condolence meeting will be held in fond memory of our former Founding Director, Mr. Sen Kapadia, to pay tribute and offer prayers for the departed soul.

The meeting is scheduled as per the details below:
Date: Tuesday, 21st April, 2026
Time: 11.00 am
Venue: AV1

We regret to inform you that Mr. Sen Kapadia, Founding Director of KRVIA, passed away today.
Sen brought with him a rare combination of academic vision and professional depth, shaping KRVIA as a space where design inquiry, critical thinking, and ethical engagement could meaningfully coexist. He established not merely an academic framework, but a culture of dialogue, reflection, and intellectual generosity.
KRVIA shall remain deeply indebted to Sen Kapadia for shaping the spirit of the institution, one that continues to foster inquiry, responsibility, and a commitment to architecture as a critical and humane practice.
His legacy will endure in the values he instilled, the questions he provoked, and the generations of students and educators he inspired.

KRVIA Certificate Program - SALT FUTURES 2026
An 8-Day Advanced Climate Design Workshop at KRVIA

Hosted at KRVIA, Mumbai, and led by bio-material researcher and architect Mangesh M. Kurund, the program brings together design, ecology, and material experimentation.

Participants will engage in hands-on exploration of salt as a dynamic environmental agent—investigating crystallization, brine circulation, and solar-driven processes to generate architectural systems. The workshop moves beyond conventional design, asking: what if architecture could grow, dissolve, and regenerate with climate?

Across the 8-day timeline, the cohort will work through computational design, material prototyping, and fabrication, culminating in a collaborative salt pavilion installation formed through real-time environmental interaction.

Open to students and practitioners across architecture, design, ecology, and material sciences. Applications now open. Last date: 30 April. Participation is selection-based.

Dates: 2–10 May 2026
Location: KRVIA, Mumbai
Format: 8-day intensive | Limited to 20 participants

Applicants must submit:
• Letter of Intent (max 300 words)
• Short Bio
• Portfolio or prior work (optional but encouraged)
