Creative Urban Practice 05 | 2025

There are three tracks that cut-across multiple micro-contexts in Bidar and its surroundings.

Unveiling the lesser Known - In this track we will focus on the housing typologies in the Bidar region to document and learn from them their relationalities to the community practices, landscape and climatic conditions. This track is linked to Climate Resource Centre, our long-term infrastructuring engagement (non-funded). The micro-contexts for this track will be spread across the region.

Climate Histories - In this track we will learn the relationship between public scholarship held by the communities about their habitats, water structures, grasslands and interlinked landscapes of the place to construct methods of ‘Climate Histories’ that can lead to local climate actions and restoration of landscapes and landforms. This track is linked to Climate Resource Centre, our long-term infrastructuring engagement (non-funded).

Place as Archive : Archive as learning artefact - In this track we will reimagine the idea of an archive as something that's alive and evolving. This track will directly contribute to Bidar Heritage Centre Archives, our long-term infrastructuring engagement (non-funded).
