In this inspiring lecture, Arjun Malik demonstrated the sensitive nature of his firm’s projects (Malik Architecture), and how he plays the role of a catalyst through architecture – between the environment and the individual. “As an architect, as a custodian of the environment, our territory of engagement is with things in a particular way. But everyone – a furniture designer or lighting expert – has to treat this with their own sensibilities.” Malik divulged his thoughts about the responsibilities to be shared by every person who is a part of the architectural process, and how this ensures a just, survivable design ecosystem.
