Emerging Architecture: Studio Sanjeev Shankar + GRAFT

Sanjeev Shankar, presents his globally acclaimed project Jugaad, where 90 residents of an Indian urban village turned discarded oil cans into a suspended shade pavilion. He makes a case for merging traditional craft skills with contemporary practices and for creating community places through democratic design. GRAFT Architects present their project for the Make It Right Initiative – rebuilding a Ward of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina – where, as part of a group of high-profile international architects, they were engaged to develop affordable yet sustainable houses for low income residents.
