The Architecture Autonomous workshop, conducted in Goa by Ar. Gerard Da Cunha, is a hands on workshop to learn masonry basics and how design can be incorporated with the material. The workshop also allowed us to interact with the architect and take a tour of his works with him, gaining an insight into his practice. urban design

This workshop has been important in my practice, because it enabled me to understand and incorporate technical knowledge about specific building practices. It became much easier to visualize designs involving masonry post working on the structures myself. On- site interactions with craftsmen who have long worked with the material also gave me valuable insights into the material itself.
