Brief of the Event: "Architectural Journalism is essentially a habit of mind. It focuses on our ideas of arousing public reception towards novel creativity in building design and through sustained education. It emphasizes on informing the right thing to the right person and enabling public relations with utmost loyalty and truth. What we observe is that Indian traditions seem unmatched by any other; the diversity here has, but, portrayed our ideas in a fragmented manner, that has further crippled an artistic and creative approach. On the contrary, if we focus on holistic humanism, we can explore the diversity of our nation for the betterment of the large, by being passionate about what we believe in and moving forth with our endeavors, no matter the obstacle. We must enthrall the fire to sustain our desires with an optimistic and patient approach" – Pappal Suneja.
