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.

Spatiality of everyday politics: every day and the form of life

Narratives of Everyday
Rishabh Chhajer, 2022


There’s a problem categorising claims outside DP as ‘problematic encroachments’. Master planning should not be the sole defining reference for locating forms of territoriality, demarcating illegal non-conforming development.

What is the spatiality of everyday politics? This research attempts to acknowledge the logics mobilised in near order by the everyday which plays a significant role in building a city and consecutively modifications in the city plan. This near order is the immediate context in which events occur. It is a political term where people have agency/ control over the setting. They claim their agency based on various grounds. There are several claims happening simultaneously in the construction of a neighbourhood in small cities like Pali. In such cities/towns, there is not a singular source of power which controls the order hence the flourishing politics with multiple overlapping claims of space.

The aim is to develop strategies for an urban form where everyday politics can flourish by establishing the relationship between everyday spatial politics and the urban form through the historical excavation of the sites by delayering past three stages of development by learning stories of the past and places of origin to unfold the accumulation of the existing context and the forms of life that get produced by spatial politics.
