Meet Godrej Design Lab Fellows from the 2024 batch, Abhimanyu Singhal and Depanshu Gola of Architecture for Dialogue (AfD).
A forward-thinking architectural collective committed to shaping habitat futures through research, design, and communication, AfD actively explores strategies to build resilience against air pollution through spaces.
“Air pollution poses a critical challenge in Indian cities, raising questions of mitigation and adaptation to the crisis. Vulnerable communities, often with fewer resources, bear a disproportionate pollution burden, worsened by biomass usage and waste-burning practices.
We plan to further our work through the Godrej Design Fellowship and prototype spatial interventions in an active household within our identified target community. This initiative is part of a broader vision wherein we aspire to develop novel housing typologies that empower individuals to shield themselves from the adverse impacts of air pollution,” said Singhal and Gola.
Stay tuned for more on the Godrej Design Lab Fellowship!

Technology is redefining our economic, social and political structures. It has proved how we can be immensely swayed by its impact. Can it manipulate us as well? Yes, Cambridge Analytica just proved it.
What is next?
Artificial intelligence is emerging. Machine is learning. How much time will it take to learn that people can be manipulated? How would it react to our exploitation of habitat to an extent where there is no going back? We have poisoned the very food we eat, water we drink and air we breathe. There's a possibility that it will react and decide to save our planet rather than working for us. Will it control the chaos by controlling us, taking away our free will and taking our decisions for us?
Will all of the machines come together and form a singularity like a hive mind to make humans merely puppets? Imagine! A body of your own but a mind fully controlled by a single conscious.
