As a product of the 2022 DXD-Sanskriti fellowship, Kruti Shah and Sebastián Trujillo-Torres were selected to develop the Atlas of (In)Constant Infrastructures, a 400-page research project that documented 78 case studies from 12 different Indian cities, in order to thoroughly map and analyze their design and urban features while speculating on the futures these offer for architects and urban designers.

The main idea of 'Inventing Infrastructures: a Children's Drawing Book' is to outline the relation between justice and infrastructure -as well as the link between institutional precarity and underlying processes of structural violence-, as something to be rethought from a child's perspective. In order to do so, the book explores complicated urban processes with puzzle-texts and incomplete illustrations that can help young minds engage creatively and intuitively with these (seemingly specialized) concepts. In that manner, the spreads of the book are designed as drawing exercises that seek to visualize new architectural interpretations by encouraging children to intervene in the book itself.

Plug-in Lari is borne out of a collaboration of Chaal Chaal Agency and Allagii innovations- both attempting in their own ways to rethink ‘laris’ or street carts. In Indian urban realm, laris are one of the most important infrastructures as they shape the streets. Extending this idea further and researching about the needs and necessities of the vendors, it was realised that conventional laris do not really consider the fundamental needs of vendors. Plug-in lari attempts to put forth a design that is a step towards addressing their basic needs. These needs are the needs of making provisions for roof, extra platform space, storage, electricity and security of their space. This design is something which functions as an add-on to their existing lari- thus providing flexibility to the vendors of opting out of making from scratch. This added intervention intends to serve the need by optimising the existing state and making additional provisions. Hence, the name ‘Plug-in’ Lari.

This book theorizes conditions of contemporary architectural practice through the lens of Colombian architects who have worked outside the country in the second decade of the XXI century. The territorial categorization -'fourth geography'- is proposed after Silvia Arango's denomination of the three predominant historical zones of architectural activity in Colombia, as a way to expand purviews of practice by mapping specific trajectories and characterizing processes and structures involved in twelve architectural projects. The fourth geography explores an under-investigated realm from a reflexive angle while identifying relevant lines of flight of contemporary architectural invention.
