Health, Heritage and Architecture | Bangalore International Centre, Bengaluru

Health, Heritage and Architecture is a hands-on workshop presented by Bangalore International Centre in association with AADI Centre (Art, Architecture, Design India Centre). Titled "What Do India’s Forts Teach Us about Healthy Spaces?", the workshop explores the relationship between traditional architecture, health and the design of living spaces. The session is facilitated by Suchi Priyadarshani, an architect, and Roshan R. Rao, Co-Founder-Director of Vinamravigyan Technologies.

Using real drawings of Rajasthan’s forts and palaces, participants will explore how centuries-old architectural techniques helped create rooms that were cool, airy, bright and quiet without electricity or energy-dependent mechanisms. The workshop examines how walls, courtyards and openings function as essential elements of healthy buildings, and how the spaces people inhabit influence their health and learning. It also explores the role of architects in designing healthier environments and applying traditional architectural knowledge to contemporary spaces.

Health, Heritage and Architecture takes place on Saturday, 14 November 2026, from 6 PM to 8 PM. The event is free to attend and open to all, with RSVP required through the Bangalore International Centre website.
