KRVIA Exchange Program

The KRVIA collaborated on an exchange program workshop with Jiaotong University, Shanghai that focused on the futures of old neighbourhoods against the backdrop of large scale development.

KRVIA Research and Design Cell

The Research and Design Cell of KRVIA prepared a design competition brief for housing redevelopment of Abhyudaya Nagar in Mumbai. The competition was an opportunity to explore new architectural and urban design solutions for a high density, tropical, rapidly urbanizing condition – a typical characteristic of any big contemporary Asian metropolis.
