We are fortunate to have Prof. Neelkanth Chhaya as the Symposium advisor. This symposium aims to challenge conventional views of urban environments and invites you to contribute your scholarly work to this transformative dialogue.

We are happy to share with you that the School of Architecture at the Anant National University, Ahmedabad, is organising an International Symposium on Architecture for All: Call of the Future scheduled from 23rd to 25th February 2024.
