Lahore: (Architecture Design Art) (Architecture Design Art) A day-long symposium organized by ADA (Architecture Design Art) – an international publishing house based in Karachi as their DSR (Designer Social Responsibility) campaign. ADA is a multidisciplinary platform that brings together leading minds in the field to share stories of interventions for a socially united better world.
Discussions and debates during the day-long symposium will revolve around the fate of architecture, urbanism and more generally design disciplines in an era that seems to take into account only, or at least with absolute priority, the development of individual modal spaces and related devices. spurred on by technology. If today and increasingly in the future, the theme of life and development is no longer about further densification, but about resilience and environmental quality – how do designers move between aesthetics, sustainability, climate adaptation and depletion of natural resources for a better world?
