This session focuses on the teaching careers of Parul Zaveri and her husband, as well as their institutional engagements throughout the years they have practised. Parul notes how their office was known as an institute of teaching and training rather than a normal professional office, and goes on to mention her teaching work with the National Institute of Design (NID). Her roles also included being a part of juries and external guidance for both architecture and interior design, and she recalls how she once had to complete her husband’s courses at CEPT University when he fell ill. Recalling her institutional associations, she mentions Indian Institute of Architecture (IIA), Indian Institute of Interior Design (IIID), etc. She then goes on to talk about her teaching approach and pedagogy, learning from her experiences abroad, filling in gaps in education wherever possible, and including insights from her various professional engagements within curriculums and lectures. She notes how teaching is an exchange, and begins to comment on how teaching has evolved and changed her design knowledge and approach. She talks about technology, textile, industry, and the practice of architecture and learning from on-site work. She speaks of gender biases and challenges one may see, working with rural and urban craftsmen, engineers, contractors, and dealings with clients. The session ends with a discussion on the changing nature of architecture and building practice in recent times, how the environment has become too fast-paced in the last ten years, with a lot of unnecessary shortcuts and an overall lack of pride that one takes in their work.
