HOW TO BUILD WITH TIME

The research project "How to Build with Time", funded by a QR-GCRF grant (2018) and a follow up grant (2020) is a collaboration between researchers at Kingston School of Art London and CEPT University Ahmedabad. It is a detailed study of strategies, tactics and techniques used by two co-producers of space. First the eminent, Pritzker Prize winning architect B. V. Doshi who planned and completed Bimanagar in 1987, and second, the inhabitants of Bimanagar who have since upgraded the environmental performance of their homes over a series of iterative and sometimes radical steps, and adapted their dwellings to changing needs.
