Event Description

In pre-modern South Asia, as diverse architectural knowledges encountered each other, what sort of sacred space became possible? What were the conditions of the encounter and how was the encounter understood and integrated? How did patrons, religious authorities, builders and worshippers engage with new information in the way they thought about designing their sacred spaces once this new knowledge became part of a repertoire of building? How do historians have to write the histories of such architectural encounters in sacred space? These and other questions are the topic of this conversation between four architectural historians working respectively in Afghanistan, Kashmir, Bengal and the Deccan and Tamil Country.
