ABOUT F.Y.I.

Fathom… Yearn… and Innovate. Words that carry deep meaning in themselves, but as a gestalt they encompass the breadth and depth of human understanding, aspiration and imagination. Words that resonate with all humans as the architects of their own lives and with us as the designers of the spaces that humanity inhabits.
Just as the very first expedition desires to be felt in its totality, as an unforgettable experience, with a rush in its rhythm of unlikeliness, a fractional unsettledness, heavy breaths in pounding senses. That first expedition is what FATHOM. YEARN. INNOVATE. demands one to do.
This magazine shall not deign to set boundaries but purge those inhibitions and let the readers dive in the realm called New.

INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION (IDC) – COMPILATION | 2015 – 2023

Aditya College of Architecture has been constantly striving to academic excellence in architectural education since its inception, through rigor in learning processes and exposure to global practices. In alignment with the vision to create globally recognized leadership in architectural education, the college took the initiative of creating a global platform for under-graduate and post-graduate students as well as young architects to put forth innovative design ideas and push the boundaries of architectural thought. The International Design Competition (IDC) was the first step in this direction.

Each year the college hosts the IDC with a different theme that encapsulates some of the most immediate and urgent concerns that the world faces today, and that we as architects and designers are uniquely positioned to address. From the very 1st IDC that encourages participants to explore the profound questions that pertain to the nature of the sacred in the spaces we inhabit, to the recently concluded IDC that urged participants to interpret the intrinsic relationships that human culture forms with the natural waterbodies that define our existence as a civilization, the journey has been one of constant learning through exploration and discovery.

As we arrive at this significant milestone of 10 years, we look towards the future, steadfast and self-assured that the IDC will continue to nurture the minds of young architects and enrich the discourse on our myriad relationships with the spaces that we inhabit.

GRANTS Aditya College of Architecture (ACA) underscores the significance of research and grants as integral elements of its academic structure, fostering a research-driven environment for both faculty and students. Through initiatives promoting collaborative research and grant opportunities, ACA aims to cultivate a deeper engagement with architectural studies. ACA’s annual International Design Research Conference (IDRC) serves as a prominent platform for global academic exchange, encouraging a broad spectrum of ideas and practices. The recent IDRC 2023 event garnered participation from across India and Bangladesh, reflecting ACA’s expanding influence in the research community. ACA faculty members also actively participated in the BNCA National Conference on “Built Environment and Beyond,” where their work was featured in both the conference proceedings and the NICMAR Journal of Construction Management. Additionally, students engaged in an urban geography project focused on Borivali, mapping its blue and green corridors—a research initiative that yielded insightful results. Three faculty members from Aditya College of Architecture have achieved significant milestones in research, with their work being presented and published in well-regarded platforms such as Livecity, the Indian Naval Academy, and Springer. These publications reflect the high caliber of research emerging from ACA and its faculty’s dedication to contributing valuable insights to the fields of architecture, urban planning, and environmental studies. On the grants front, ACA students are currently involved in the esteemed RPG Foundation research grant titled Mapping the Lesser Known. This project centers on documenting the architectural and cultural heritage of the Parsi baugs, the unique residential communities that reflect the traditions and lifestyles of the Parsi community. Through this initiative, students gain valuable hands-on experience in field research and cultural documentation, fostering a stronger appreciation for India’s diverse architectural legacy.
