A cultural and urban reading of the Indian metropolis through the perspectives of five women from different historical periods
The lecture series "Cities and Architecture," organized by the Ibercaja Foundation and the Madrid College of Architects (COAM), dedicates one of its sessions to Delhi, the capital of India. The aim of "Cities and Architecture" is to explore the major milestones in the history of large cities, with each lecture focusing on a specific city and using its architecture and urban layout as the main narrative axis.
The lecture on Delhi offers a cultural and urban interpretation of the metropolis through the perspectives of five women from different historical periods, exploring the city as a stratified territory shaped by landscape, representation, memory, and daily life.
The lecture will be given by Mara Sánchez Llorens, an architect and urban planner from the ETSAM (Technical University of Madrid) and a PhD in Architectural Projects. Her work includes "Magnetic Spaces," a study of Indian ghats that explores the relationship between drawing, territory, and urban memory. She has also published, along with Fermina Garrido, Ray Earnes, and Lina Bo, "Bardi: The Journey as Laboratory," in which she analyzes The Indian Report, connecting the urban complexity of Delhi with critical perspectives on modernity, tradition, and cultural hybridity.
The lecture "Cities and Architecture: Delhi" will take place on June 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the COAM Auditorium.
