    Key topics and learnings


    Dr. Doshi will take us on a journey wherein we will experience various nuances of light as an intrinsic ingredient of space. He intends to invigorate various aspects and nature of light which designers have forgotten. He believes that human being can bring in light by curating architecture and heighten the overall experience of space. He also believes in fluidity of this medium and its interaction with architecture. He would take us through great examples and his inspirations apart from his buildings to illustrate the overall experience. Dr. Doshi, in his own practice and principles has put light as one of the prime virtues of design amongst space, form and volumes. Let us hear him out and benefit the most from the architect himself and be illuminated with light and architecture alike !!
