DESIGN DIALETCS @stir_world x @nieuweinstituut An Open Call A Project A Resistance to Full Stops, Cannons, Standardisation, Institutionalisation A reflection on where we're at STIR, and stirring things up collectively! In this 4th edition of Design Drafts themed, 'Design Dialects', make with us some new ways of reading, writing and recognising design. SUBMIT through the *link in bio* before May 15, 2026. "A dialect is a window into how people take their place in the world—how they joke, argue, remember and relate to one another.", says @joharskhan in her evocative writing. Resistance always finds its power in solidarity and that for this project comes from @delanyboutkan at Nieuwe Instituut - The Netherland's national museum for Architecture, Design and Digital Culture. #OpenCall #DesignDrafts #DesignWriting #STIRworld #NieuweInstituut

Somewhere between light and architecture, we found a moment worth keeping. Frames that dont need direction, only presence ! on frame : @amit_stir

Edited: The Architecture of Visibility at Twiggr Studio turned into something special - an evening that felt as meaningful as we had imagined, if not more. We’re incredibly grateful to our panellists - Sandeep Khosla, Amit Gupta, and Aastha D - for sharing thoughts and experiences that not only reflect their journeys, but continue to shape the way their work evolves. And to everyone who showed up - It was your energy that made the evening what it was - warm, easy, and full of genuine conversation. For those who couldn’t make it, the essence stayed simple yet powerful: own your craft, understand who you’re speaking to, find your voice, and share your work with intention - without losing sight of why you began. A lovely collaboration with @bengaluruartweekend @usualsuspectsindia #CreatorsConnect #EditedTheArchitectureOfVisibility #DesignCommunity #architecturecommunity #bangaloredesigner

Project: Bankatta Community Initiative, Madi Valley⁠ Architecture: @sma.nepal ⁠ Location: Chitwan District, Nepal⁠ Site area: 400 m²⁠ Ammodo Architecture Award for local scale 2025⁠ ⁠ The remote Madi Valley of southern Nepal is surrounded on three sides by Chitwan National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site home to rhinos, elephants, tigers and hundreds of bird species. The village of Bankatta is reachable only by crossing the National Park and a flood-prone riverine landscape. Bankatta is home to the Bot people, with their own language and cuisine, who have long inhabited this region, but migration to Indian cities and the Gulf had begun to fragment their social and cultural life.⁠ ⁠ The Bankatta Community Initiative set out to reverse this trend through community-driven eco-tourism and sustainable design. Led by the Bankatta Women Committee in collaboration with Sustainable Mountain Architecture (SMA) and the platform Connecting Spaces, the project created a multipurpose community hall and two eco-cottages as part of a regenerative village model known as Madi Eco-Village. Rather than importing outside expertise, the team built with and for the community, combining vernacular wisdom, local materials and collective labour.⁠ ⁠ The project is awarded in the Local Scale category for its inclusive and self-organized approach to socially and ecologically grounded architecture with the Bot community in Nepal. What began as a small, women-led effort has become a living example of how design can build self-reliance and pride of place. Integrating environmental conditions and local resources, the project resists seasonal flooding, revives traditional knowledge and strengthens a community’s ability to shape its own future.⁠ ⁠ Find out more about the project by @sma.nepal and more about the Ammodo Architecture Award 2025 on our website – follow the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷1&4: Mohit Maharjan, 2: Alisha Adhikari, 3&5-8: Sustainable Mountain Architecture⁠ ⁠ 🌱🔍 #AmmodoArchitectureAward #AmmodoArchitectureAwardforLocalScale #AmmodoArchitectureAwardforLocalScale2025⁠

The impending thesis jury and the sleepless nights preceding this. The countless sheets, drafted in a catatonic state only for professors to reprimand you for forgetting the north on your presentation sheet. In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones set in 1974 in the fictional National School of Architecture was screened once, late one night in 1989. Since then, ut circulated in fugitive circuits through recordings. Recently, the Film Heritage Foundation restored it in 4K with this version premiering at Berlinale - an event its screenwriter, Arundhati Roy, walked out of in protest against the organisation’s silence on Gaza. The film hasn't changed. Everything around it has. Or hasn't - which is the point. Architecture schools still show it to first-years. Nobody has agreed on whether it's a warning or an aspiration. That unease, we think, is the whole argument. STIR reflects on what the restoration reveals - about architectural education, about institutions, and about the particular cruelty of returning to something that keeps failing you.

An evening where design unfolded into dialogue, and conversations shaped the space. EDITED was exactly that. A room full of warmth, curiosity, and people who showed up not just to listen, but to engage. Every question, every pause, every conversation added something real to the space. So grateful to our speakers - @sandeepkhosla489 for grounding the conversation with clarity and depth drawn from years of practice. @amitondesign for bringing sharp perspective on narrative, platforms, and the evolving voice of design. @aastha___d for adding a thoughtful, reflective lens that made us all pause and think a little deeper. A special thank you to @twiggrstudio and @ayawi.designs for their beautiful space and for helping pull this together so seamlessly, and to @bengaluruartweekend and @usualsuspectsindia for adding their energy to this experience. And most of all, to everyone who came, your energy made the evening what it was. You gave the evening its character. Still holding onto that warmth. ✨
