Enveloping the theme of ‘Architectural Revolution’, the 361° Conference 2017 was a thought-provoking and esoteric platform. 361° Conference in its tenth edition continues to celebrate the power of thoughts and ideas, and initiates an invigorating dialogue on architecture and design.
The tenth edition of the 361° Conference 2017, titled ‘Architectural Revolution’ presented the opportunity for several prominent architects from around the world to set a stage for thought-provoking dialogue on the reactions to the challenges of designing in the digital century. Relying extensively on computer modelling, simulation, and imaging to create visual as well as physical models and structures, ‘Digitised Design’ has now extended beyond the realm of “ideated spaces” and ventured into virtual interfaces which serve as “spaces” of human interactions. The two day event was an intensive affair and saw the eminence of the architecture fraternity from around the globe in the city of Mumbai. The theme revolved around architects and designers, who have created ground breaking forms and structures with the aid of computer algorithms, extending to “scripted, iterative and indexical architecture”. This method of form generation re-aligns the role of the architect, which is limited to selection of a pragmatic form, from the multiple choices made available through the iterations.
Over the years, the 361° Conference has been able to establish a close working relationship with its Partners who believe in the spirit of the Conference and its cause, especially this year with Title Partner Armstrong World Industries (India) Pvt Ltd. QUEO Bathware, UltraTech, HP, J K Cements, Hindustan Steelworks Construction Ltd, Nitco, Outokumpu, CREDAI- MCHI, Worldarchitects.com, Indian architects. com, Zingy Homes & ArchPhoto India also amplified the scale of the Conference. Combined with initiatives such as the ‘Young Designers 2017’ competition, the Conference marked the enunciation of conscious architectural discourse addressing pressing issues in the community, as intended.
