Today, cities everywhere are
thinking more broadly about how to get an economic boost.
Big
ticket items, like sports arenas and lavish performing arts centers, which
cities once viewed as the key to reviving their struggling downtowns, are
taking a back seat to new, lower-cost, high-impact strategies to foster
prosperity.
More and
more, public squares and urban parks, not expensive mega projects, are emerging
as the best way to make downtowns more livable - and not just in depressed
urban cores.
Architectural
landmark..!
India has
a dearth of interaction points and architectural landmark monuments that bring
people together. The reason being, every space available is utilized for
commercial use by private players. What India needs is urban planning and
design Government can achieve its goals only in coordination with professionals
and citizens.
Architecture
today functions as an isolated fraternity. White Flag which is the publishing
division of Sezal Entertainment & Media India Ltd, in association with RAK
Ceramics intends to bridge this gap between the fraternity and the laymen.
Keeping this vision in mind, 8th October, 2012 Renaissance Hotel & Convention
Centre, Mumbai will be celebrated as “World Architecture Day”.
The
spirit of architecture will be celebrated in India for the first time.
It is a
one day conference with focus on following topics:
Urban
Design, Public Squares, Landscape Architecture, Public Art, Water
Fronts
The speaker panel is extremely powerful with leading national and international
stalwarts from diverse fields

various issues regarding Urban Design.
The day
will see a premium footfall of delegates like architects, town planners,
urban
designers, builders, government bodies, bureaucrats and academicians.
Architecture
continues to be an underestimated profession and functions in an isolated
manner.
Architects
do not get the required recognition as their peer professionals like Doctors,
CAs and Lawyers. White Flag in association with RAK Ceramics intends to take
architecture on a different paradigm.
