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.

Class and leisure

Difference and Urban Space
Aman Nahar, 2021


People do leisure activities in their spare time, something or anything they enjoy doing by themselves, but this differs when it comes to different classes of people. For example, we see a difference when we compare the leisure spaces of businesspersons (upper classes) with those from the working classes. A businessperson has more defined places of leisure and time while for their workers, the spaces are less defined and so is the time for leisure and their leisure happens with work. Higher class people keep separate time and place for leisure and lower class people do not have that therefore higher the class more defined is the time and the space of leisure is and the lower the class, less defined is the time and space for leisure and their leisure happens with work and while higher class relate to exclusive spaces of leisure, lower class identifies everyday spaces as leisure.
