The Lullabies of Liminality and Symbolism in Architecture | Bijoy Ramachandran | TEDxNitteDU

Bijoy Ramachandran opens the doors to the concept of the unnoticed world of 'Liminality' and how architectural spaces are shaped and influenced by the presence or absence of humans i.e. the human factor.
Architecture is a reflection of the society. From the intricacies of the Taj Mahal to the minimalistic grandiosity of the Burj Khalifa, imagination is endless and so is the human mind.
Architect and urban designer, Bijoy Ramachandran, is the co-founding partner at Hundredhands, a multi-disciplinary design studio based in Bangalore and established in 2003.
The studio’s approach is grounded in the search for contextually appropriate solutions. The work seeks to identify appropriate metaphors for the particular exigencies of a project and our larger identity as a people - a search for ‘the beautiful idea’.
Metaphors are fundamental to architecture and these are to be found in the unlabelled, the unsaid, the ambiguous and the liminal, between program, and at those thresholds between the realm of architecture and the world around. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
