De Earth showcases two decades of Architectural Excellence at ‘Belong’
“The exhibition highlighted how our diverse projects address architecture’s impact on cultural equity, contextual balance, and resident happiness. Discussing the future of architecture and planning, particularly in the context of climate change, is crucial for a positive future,” said Ar. Nishan M, Founder Partner of De Earth.
A highlight of the exhibition was the virtual reality presentation of the upcoming Lions Park in Calicut, alongside models of several residences, the design competition entry for Tagore Hall, and a unique education hub in Pinarayi. The master plan for the Government Arts & Science College, Calicut, offered insights into the future of architectural typologies, particularly institutions.
The event also featured discussions and debates with several prominent architects on the future of architectural practice and its role in nurturing healthy communities. Ar. Vivek PP, Co-Founder of De Earth, emphasized, “Architecture of public spaces should be open, interactive, and engaging, not gated. Through ‘Belong’ we aimed to communicate how good design positively impacts everyone’s lives, whether in public spaces, small residences, or social housing schemes.”
De Earth’s exhibition underscored their commitment to nature-sensitive and culturally responsive designs, showcasing projects like the award-winning Freedom Square and the Thalassery Heritage Project.
