SEA  
ARCHIVES  


Designed as a comprehensive resource on spatial thinking, experimental pedagogy, and academic practices, this archive serves as a record for reference and critical analysis. 

More than a traditional institutional repository, it is envisioned as an "Archive of Ideas," structured to mirror the conceptual and intellectual framework of SEA. The platform captures specific engagements, explorations, and pedagogical reorientations, expressing the school's distinct set of practices constituted by its students and teachers. 

The collection encompasses intellectual articulations—from course books and objectives to studio briefs and lectures—alongside a  documentation of student work, field studies, and thesis projects. Through this structure, the archive navigates complex inquiries into typologies, ontologies, and genealogies, while exploring themes of environment, urbanisation, futures, and ethics. It serves as a space for rethinking geographies and histories of type, offering the school's co-learning experiments and its ongoing articulation of space and form.

Architecture for mobile densities

Cultural Dimensions of Inhabitation
Nishi Shah, 2018


Travelling to and fro from the railway stations every day for work seems like a task for the Mumbaikar’s. The crowded and busy area outside the station causes a lot of chaos and discomfort for commuters. The quality of dispersion and movement of the large mass of people depends largely on the architecture of the area.

The thesis thus tries to find out the relation between the quality of dispersion of high density of people and the architecture of the immediate outside of the railway stations.
