[email protected] The workshop ‘Sea Sand Structures’ focuses on fringe conditions of limit and discontinuity within the city by exploring one of the aspects, the coast of Mumbai. Set up and coordinated by Renu Gupta along with the faculty members of BSSA in Mumbai and in IAAC, Barcelona, the workshop was conducted simultaneously to have an interesting exchange of concepts and design approaches by locals and foreigners to the same issue. (19,20,21st Jan 2010) The workshop precedes the IAAC’s India visit in March 2010. By focusing on one aspect, the workshop raises many subsequent local issues within the city of Mumbai. It remains important to initiate a design dialogue before the actual visit that deals with a number of questions in Indian cities and familiarizes the students with the ‘site’. Link to BSSA workshop
