4R’s: The Amelioration of Imagination

Design by

Vardhan Arora & Pooja Tambe

"Remarkable approach to the subject of the contest, innovative, practical, direct. Associate thoughtful imagination with concrete realization.
The only drawback is the excessive citations present in such a short essay."

- Daniele Longobardi


"In a rationale that examines imagination as a phenomenon, the author chooses an interesting approach for the essay. Within the framework of a single project, one understands the Intersectionality of imagination and the architectural process. It relegates the imagination as an alignment to 4Rs. However, there is a very thin fine threshold between 'visualisation' in a design process and that of 'imagination'. That threshold is often crossed over in this essay and thus, highlighting its limitations. The essayist could have been more stringent in choosing the example that is projected. The graphics are more to do with the project, than the process itself. "
-Maanasi Hattangadi


"Ameliorisation of imagination investigates both the experiential and functional elements of process in the architectural practice."
-Nicole Cullinan
