Play as a Framework - Conversation | Sun 16th Aug | HOLIDAY HW '26

What if play wasn't something we grew out of, but something we designed our cities around?

In this conversation, architects and designers Bharat Raj Thukral and Roshni Gera explore play as a powerful framework for creating more inclusive, imaginative, and joyful public spaces.

Drawing from projects including Ulta Pulta (on display at Holiday Homework) and Aata Ooru, they discuss how architecture, public art, and design can encourage curiosity, participation, and connection across generations. Rather than designing spaces that simply instruct us how to behave, the talk asks how we might create environments that invite exploration, interpretation, and collective imagination.

Suitable for anyone interested in architecture, design, childhood, and the future of our shared public spaces.
