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.

When is digital in space?

Mediatized Environments
Ronak Soni, 2021


The research becomes a dialogue between our ways of thinking and imagining space and the ‘Digital’. From the 1970s until the contemporary shifts induced by the digital were mapped. Introduction of SPLINE, virtual simulation, sub-surface modelling, Big Data and AI with machine learning were identified as 5 major events. The thesis condenses the argument through the concepts of privacy, standards, practice, sense and the physicality of space. The Digital changed the tools of drawing therefore thinking and thus the space produced eventually shaping life. After engaging with the digital for the past 4 decades, study ends with epistemological questions on how to think through the digital as we are witnessing a paradigm shift from postmodernism to what?
