Akshat Bhatt on Architecture with Emotion, Story, and Regenerative Design | FOAID Design Karyashala

In this FOAID Design Karyashala Expert Talk, renowned Indian architect Akshat Bhatt, Principal Architect at Architecture Discipline, shares insights into architecture in India, focusing on sustainable architecture, regenerative design, and architectural storytelling.

The session explores landmark works in contemporary architecture in India—from the Discovery Centre in Bangalore to the Make in India Pavilion—as case studies to discuss public space design, passive architecture, and site-specific design rooted in cultural and environmental context.

Through themes like urban regeneration, adaptive reuse architecture, biosphere restoration, and habitat-focused design, the talk highlights strategies involving material reuse, landscape integration, and collaborative design processes.

Bhatt reflects on the relationship between architecture and music, the influence of photography on architecture, and the role of architectural process and narrative in shaping cities, public infrastructure, and the way communities interact with built spaces.
For students, young architects, and design enthusiasts, this is an unmissable opportunity to hear perspectives on environmental design, cultural architecture, and experimental urban design projects in India. The discussion also touches on sustainable townships, public art in architecture, and large-scale urban design that merges meaning, climate responsibility, and community engagement.
