NEXT STOP celebrates the unique journeys of every undergraduate student of ASD class of 2021
The exhibition celebrates myriad of possibilities the students can bring to the urban environment.
Architects harness their power to challenge systemic injustices and serve the public good. Through design, they empower marginalized communities by providing access, means, and awareness. Their work demonstrates architecture's potential to disrupt entrenched norms and drive meaningful societal change.
Architects approach design methodically, deconstructing architecture's complex systems beyond aesthetics. They explore materials, computation, and fabrication to understand its layers, iterating to optimize tools and processes. Their work reimagines and reshapes the built environment through rationalized, meticulously crafted solutions.
Designers integrate the built environment with nature, creating spaces that respect ecosystems and enrich human experience. They blend architecture and urbanism to achieve balance, using sustainable strategies to adapt to climate change, enhance resilience, and support biodiversity.
Designers breathe new life into forgotten sites by reimagining their purpose while honoring their history. By blending heritage with innovation, they create spaces that respect local traditions, reflect the past, and adapt seamlessly to future contexts.
Amid an increasingly challenging world, these designers create spatial sanctuaries that protect and enrich human wellbeing. Through advocacy and architecture, their projects prioritize safety, rejuvenation, and engagement, offering spaces that enhance both intrinsic and extrinsic experiences while fostering a high quality of life for diverse activities and connections.
Challenging conventional practices, these designers use architecture to critique, speculate, and explore innovative solutions to today’s complexities. Through bold experimentation and imaginative works, they push boundaries, foster critical conversations, and envision revolutionary possibilities, making architecture a canvas for societal commentary and a catalyst for future-focused solutions.
