The discussion delved into how art intersects with architecture in the pursuit of harmony in the cosmos. It turned out to be very exciting and informative, involving, both the experienced as well as the young professionals in the field. “Architects have the power to create spaces that resonate with the fundamental rhythms of the universe, integrating art adds another layer of richness to the exploration of harmony in the cosmos from an architectural perspective. Art has always been intertwined with architecture, serving as a means of expression, storytelling, and cultural reflection”, said Adhvika Agarwal, Artist, Curator and Founder of Rang Mirage Art Gallery.
“Harmonious spaces that resonate with repose, timelessness and beauty emerge when there is an alignment between values, material, culture, place, ecology and functional needs. Weaving the whole together through an intuitive process of selecting form, volume, texture, colour and light to create spatial experiences that amplify energy and have an emotive quality is at the heart of sensitive practice. Art is an integral element that has the potential to unite, transmute and revitalise space”, said Architect Swanzal Kak Kapoor.
