Engaging in Culture – a lecture by John McAslan

John delivered an insightful lecture at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) in Mumbai, emphasizing the importance of engaging with culture in architecture.
McAslan discussed how architecture should not only serve functional purposes but also resonate with the historical and cultural contexts of the places it inhabits. He highlighted his projects where design is deeply intertwined with local heritage, identity, and social impact.
Through his work, McAslan advocates for an approach that fosters cultural dialogue, respects traditions, and responds innovatively to contemporary needs, urging architects to connect emotionally with their surroundings.
