Gender. Hysteria. Architecture.
Aditi A.’s research work (as a part of the CEPT Writing Architecture course) traces a genealogy of care that quietly mutated into confinement. It begins with a refusal to treat “female hysteria” as merely a mistaken medical diagnosis of the nineteenth century. Instead, it approaches hysteria as the name given to a much older spatial logic—one that had already learned how to isolate, manage, discipline, and erase women long before psychiatry offered language to explain it.
Brutalist India
Brutalist India is a photo-essay series curated by Bhawna Dandona in collaboration with ArchitectureLive!, to explore India’s Brutalist architecture, a stylistic and material expression that emerged in the post-independence period. This initiative aims to highlight both iconic and lesser-known architectural works from across India, offering insights into their history, contexts, design principles, and techniques. In light of the recent demolitions of concrete buildings, the series seeks to raise awareness and foster a deeper understanding of the importance of safeguarding India’s architectural heritage from the recent past.
