Event Description : LILA PRISM lecture "Urban Space as Continuity" a talk by Tapan Chakravarty, architect.

Abstract: The space, where the urban community meets to interact, celebrate, contemplate, perform, protest or simply hang out is generally the public precinct, which forms the better part of Urban Spaces. Often, the street and the public space willy-nilly overlap and juxtapose in a variety of ways, uses and relationships. Street life, street food, street bazaars, street art, street performances, street sports have traditionally evolved from this simple amalgamation that no city can do without. Do such spaces appear non-productive to the real estate developer or the infrastructure planner and thus are deemed to disappear? Do such spaces misappropriate relevance and invite extinction? Do such spaces silently morph or metamorphose to trend with the times & the eventual way-of-life? The built and the un-built are perpetually in conflict yet eternally in tandem; in a continuity that is more variable than constant. The lecture presentation aspires to discuss contradictions in continuity.
