Artists of Mrudgandha 2026🧿

This week in the studio we stopped talking about architecture and started talking about

Specifically why they are all closed now.
My students grew up in neighbourhoods where you could walk into anyone’s house. Where the street was a living room. Where human connection did not require a reservation or a purchase.

That world did not disappear because people changed.

It disappeared because we built cities that had no room for it.

Did you also loose an open door.
I want to know: what is your version of that open door? What did your city used to have that it does not anymore?
Tell me in the comments.
