The HECAR Foundation is organizing the “Women in Design 2020+” International Conference with leading architects, urban conservationists, urban planners and designers of multiple and diverse disciplines from India and the World.
The HECAR Foundation is a non- profit organization founded in 1999 to celebrate Mumbai’s multifaceted historic tradition.
It recognizes architecture as a product of historical movement and that the essence of life is growth and change; and as such must make allowances for both. The HECAR Foundation is committed to research, education and public initiatives on architecture and its related fields including heritage and urban issues through talks, publications, conference, exhibitions, scholarships, and seminars
The conference is scheduled to be held on 8th, 9th and 10th January 2020 at the Nehru Centre Auditorium in Mumbai. This three-day conference will feature more than 35 women speakers and panelists sharing their stories, thoughts, and ideas with the audience of some of the most respected designers and cultural practitioners.
The conference is now open for registration with limited seats for women and men across the architectural and design fraternity.
WID 2020+ is curated by the panel led by Brinda Somaya, Founder Trustee of The HECAR Foundation along with the organizing committee that includes Nandini Somaya Sampat, Ruturaj Parikh, and Mary Norman Woods. Shared below is a brief overview of the conference.
