Vastukul (Government of India recognized startup is an innovative platform for architecture, design, and planning education, targeted at learners globally) with the aim to bridge the gap between leaners and leaders. Vastukul is organizing symposium with global leaders on the topic Living (with + Infra) on 11 November 2022.
Transportation infrastructure like flyovers, elevated expressways, bridges, highways are built to perform a certain role in a city. But in the post construction phase, as they are put into an already existing system of urban networks, the under-infrastructure space and infra elements continue to evolve into interesting usages by common people. Transportation infrastructure continues being utilized as an urban element, beyond their intended function in many cases.
Is there a need to revive the Dead Spaces Under Elevated Structures?
What are underspaces of flyovers used for?
Do you/cities adapt with flyovers or flyovers adapt with you/cities?
Are modern urban landscapes transformed by infrastructures ?
How do you think these spaces under the flyover can be transformed?
To get answers to these and much more, join the symposium where professionals from various fields, researchers, policy makers and students come together to understand the city and mobility.
The international symposium is a dialogue between policymakers, architects, academicians , researchers, and common people (users) where they come together and discuss the policies about transport infrastructure, its neo urban impact, their perspective while also showcasing their infra projects.
