Center for Architecture Jugaad Urbanism: Resourceful Strategies for Indian Cities Opening Reception: 7 - 9 pm Thursday February 10, 2011.   Exhibition: February 10 - May 21, 2011 At the Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place Set in the radically uneven urban landscapes of Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Pune, India, Jugaad Urbanism explores how the energy of citizens "making-do" is translated by architects, urban planners, and governmental and nongovernmental entities into efficient and inventive strategies for sustainable urban growth. From energy generating spinning wheels to the extensive skywalks of Mumbai – the exhibition highlights how "jugaad" interventions (a term in Hindi used to describe an innovative, resourceful approach) are challenging traditional spatial hierarchies and mechanistic planning principles.   The work of Indian artists, including Raqs Media Collective, will also be included in the exhibition, offering insights into the complex and oft cited "messy" urbanism of India.   Curator: Kanu Agrawal Exhibition design and graphics: Popular Architecture and Omnivore   Download press release   Exhibition and related programs are organized by AIA New York in partnership with the Center for Architecture Foundation, the India China Institute at The New School , the Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC) and the Society of Indo-American Engineers and Architects (SIAEA).   Jugaad Urbanism is supported in part by grants from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.   Beverages generously provided by:     Kingfisher Lager   Grapevine Merchants     The exhibition was also made possible through the generous support of the following:   UNDERWRITER LEAD SPONSORS   SPONSORS Grapevine Merchants Society of Indo-American Engineers and Architects   SUPPORTERS Bittersweet NYC CetraRuddy Kingfisher Lager   FRIENDS Arup Benjamin Moore Ibex Construction Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates Perkins Eastman Skidmore, Owings & Merrill   AIA New York Chapter 536 LaGuardia Pl NY, NY 10012 (212) 683-0023 info@aiany.org TODAY AT THE IAAC     February 10 - May 21, 2011 Jugaad Urbanism Exhibition Centre for Architecture, 536 La Guardia Place, NYC.
