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 of Jain religious institutions

Institution and Typology
Pooja Temkar, 2019


Different communities are seen in Mumbai. That is formed due to various reasons some by the same kind of work, some by similar beliefs and practices, some are formed where communities of people are brought together by geographic boundaries etc. These communities demands for certain spaces to carry out their daily activities. Such spaces become an important part of their life as they are interdependent on these spaces for their daily routine.

The architecture for religious community, spaces and its institutions has been ignored. My thesis aims at understanding and studying such community in Mumbai which is formed by similar beliefs and practice. Understanding their peculiar actions by the community and their practices that shape space and their requirement of spaces to perform the activities.
