Join us this week Instagram Live: https://www.instagram.com/cept_ahr/ - Saturday, 26th June at 5:00 p.m. for the last session of the 'AHR student dialogues' series, as Yakin Kinger a student in third semester follows recent graduate, Sasank IVS's thesis journey.

Trained as an architect, Yakin's wide ranging interests include the study of built forms, history, anthropology, and Hindustani classical music. He intends to take his learning forward to engage with research and writing, architectural design, and pedagogy. Sasank is currently working as a teaching associate at CEPT University. His interest in urban spatial contestations at the intersection of varied agencies in the making of our cities had initiated his thesis research. His thesis ‘Common-lands, Contestations and the Lal-Dora’ investigates the urban villages of Delhi and attempts to identify the spatial contestations led by the tensions between the state, the villagers, and multiple agencies of power over the common lands of the villages. Through a historical enquiry, the thesis presents these common lands as sites of contestations, which were indeed the products of the state’s exclusionary planning methods.
