In line with our FY20172018 theme, "Architecture.Evolution, Now and Beyond," we will feature special dialogues on how the Architectural Design Industry has evolved in our world where a plethora of technology are accessibly used

to modify and enhance our everyday existence in the universe. We question, how does the fast-paced modern world, with its evolving needs and the advent of digital Architecture, affect Design in terms of local and international Architecture -through Design + Strategies, Re-Use + Transformation, Interior Design + Branded Environments and Landscape Architecture. How does the world's changing needs affect the purpose and re-

purposing of structures when it comes to Design, Innovation, Diversity, Sustainability and Wellness?

Our CPD Seminar will channel all these curiosities of our practice, graced by interesting personalities who tackled how Architecture has evolved, and these are none other but the Top Architects of our country who are Shapers and Movers of the Architectural Industry! From evolution to revolution....these notable heavyweights of the design industry will deliberate about the real and imagined possibilities of the future of Architecture in this thought-

provoking CPD Seminar.
