1 3-5 MARCH 2015, NEHRU CENTRE, MUMBAI attendees lectures 7 editions 1 annual architecture symposium in India 361 Conference since 2005

2 One of the oldest and most respected design forums in India, the 361 Conference is an initiative by Indian Architect & Builder, under the aegis of Jasubhai Media, to inspire a truly relevant discussion on architecture. The conference establishes a thought-exchange program with lectures and discussions chronicling a multitude of ideas and innovations that have had a significant impact on our habitats. Through the years, the conference has connected various disciplines of design by offering dialogue opportunities across essential themes like Design and Informal Cities, Earth Matters, Imagining Urban Futures, Material Innovations, New Spirit in Architecture and Architecture Identity. As an eclectic, thought-provoking and egalitarian platform, 361 in its eighth edition will continue to articulate the power of thoughts and ideas, thus capturing the progressive nature of design and creating in its wake, a forum for the emerging and influential practices in the Indian subcontinent.

3 The 361 Degrees Conference will remain with me as one of the most invigoratingly interesting and stimulating forums I have experienced. The choice of subject matter and speakers was remarkable, hugely explorative and, ultimately, cogent. Andre Tammes, Chairman, LDP, UK & Australia.

5 A celebration of thoughtful design, 361 absolutes & completes the need for understanding, debate and future directions for architecture the Indian subcontinent. For the industry & the community, it culminates as an annual opportunity for unique convergence of creativity & networking. to Inspire Aspiring for intense architectural deliberations over presentations, discussions and dinners, 361 has hosted 145+ iconic Indian and international speakers including Richard Meier, Hani Rashid, Fumihiko Maki, Alejandro Aravena, Charles Correa and more..to Interact Over seven editions, 361 as a conference has hosted more than 4500 architects to gather and generate under the premise of curated themes discounting the peripheral agendas of exhibitions & competitions. With relevant media partners, it has created endless opportunities to network for the organisations & people associated with it. I really enjoyed some of the talks and interactions, and I must commend you and your team for a job well done. The audience was excellent and it felt good as a speaker to be in front of a packed house. I have been to many conferences around the world and I have to say that this was amongst the best, both in quality of speakers and in organisation. - Sandeep Khosla, Principal, Khosla Associates With two and a half packed days of amazing and inspiring talks & presentations from speakers with varied backgrounds, 361 Degrees was as brilliant as one can get.the presentations were enriching and inspiring to professionals and students alike - something that was evident with the enthusiastic responses of all who attended. Overall each aspect of the conference was extremely well-organised and our congratulations to you and the entire IA&B team for a super successful event! - Brijender S Dua, Editor, Landscape Journal

6 THE CREATIVE THE INNOVATIVE THE RADICAL THE EXEMPLARY THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS ONE OF DEGREE.

7 RETROSPECTIVE The Speakers, The Partners, The Associations These presentations also opened up some critical thinking within me, making me wonder what are we all doing as a profession? I wondered if, we as a profession, are not focused on beach houses and second homes, and neat little tourist sites, or are we facing the avalanche of urbanisation straight on. Will history push us aside as the court jesters of the rich and idle? While these are critical thoughts of our profession and my own work, they are not critical of reactions of your conference. Your conference laid out things in front of me that caused me to think! What better compliment could one pay of your efforts! Prof. Christopher Charles Benninger, CCBA, Pune:

8 2005 India s first comprehensive international design forum for ideation, inspiration and interaction was launched to create a multi-directional showcase of ideas and innovations that celebrate the power of ideas in architecture and design. The conference, in its wake, has created a promising and continual annual forum for networking and inspirations within the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry. 361º CONFERENCE is a platform which brings world class architects from across the world to India. It enables the design community in India to interact with the wider network people. - Dr B V Doshi, Ahmedabad: ICON Zaha Hadid KEY NOTE SPEAKERS Zvi Hecker, Zvi Hecker Architects Prof Anil Laul, Anangpur Building Centre Fred Dust, Smart Space Practice, IDEO V Suresh, HUDCO Jonathan Knowles, AUTODESK Scott Findley, RMJM Ben Van Berkel, UN Studio Kengo Kuma, Kengo Kuma & Associates Jurgen Mayer H, J MAYER H Prof Arvind Krishnan, SPA William Wong, WHW Design Sushmita Mohanty, MOONFRONT Andrea Nield, Andrea & Lawrence Nield Brinda Somaya, Somaya & Kalappa Dr Javier Pioz, Cervera & Pioz Architects Ltd Hiranti Welandawe, H W Architects Neera Adarkar, Adarkar Associates Sarah E Lorenzen, Plasmatic Concepts Shirish Patel, Shirish Patel & Consultants Stefan Behnisch, Behnisch Architekten Dr R Gopalan, RV Tifac Composites Centre Dr S A Reddy, Gammon India V Giriraj, National Mission for Bamboo Applications Donald Bates, Lab Architecture Studio Patrik Schumacher, Zaha Hadid Architects Ramanath Jha, MSRDC Sudhir Vohra, Sudhir Vohra Consultants Swati Ramanathan, JANAAGRAHA David Nixon, Altus Labs NASA

12 2012 With multiple ways and means, multilateral approaches and multidimensional practices, architects and designers in India, and the world, are venturing into unprecedented realms with an intense understanding of the new age. The conference attempted to understand and debate these versatile directions and the generated chaos as an ambigous whole guided by four tracks namely Systems & Technology, Objects & Experiences, Paracentric Practices and Extensions of the Conference involved screening of the film Doshi by Hundredhands and a bookstore by ANDBS.

13 2013 As communities continually negotiate their destiny in an increasingly global world, design becomes a reflection of the cultures architects create. In the haze of isms, the mania of the virtual and a landscape of failed utopias, the conference aimed to provoke and rethink the reason why architecture is relevant and what is relevant architecture? Icon lecturers such as Peter Rich and Charles Correa set the premise of discussion. An exhibition representing Interpretations of Sustainability in the Indian Context was held concurrently and the film Vistara was also screened.

14 2014 The 2014 conference will focus on people and practices whose fundamentals mediate the impact of these statements and have an investment in the idea of identity; whose work takes a critical position on this issue. The 361 Conference 2014 will explore the issue of Architecture & Identity.
