Architectural Haiku Writing Contest, 4th Cycle is the twenty-eighth initiative of the Architectural Journalism & Criticism Organization, founded by architect Pappal Suneja to spread awareness about this subject and sow the seeds of inspiration to explore and write about Architecture and allied fields from a lyrical and explorer’s perspective.
Theme for the Series in this cycle is ‘Architecture and Memories’
Did you know that you can carry space with you?
Architecture is often understood as something permanent, fixed to a site and grounded in geography. Yet some of the most endearing spaces we recollect and relive are the ones carried within us as memories. A childhood home, a school corridor, a buzzing street, or a courtyard left behind through migration—these are spaces that continue to travel with us, transcending time and geography.
Intriguingly, memory is not restricted to spaces we have physically experienced. A room from a novel, a house from a film, a city imagined through a story, and many other spaces constructed through fiction can remain vividly etched in our minds. Beyond physical experience, these spaces quietly settle into our memories.
The Fourth Cycle of the Architectural Haiku Writing Contest calls for an exploration of Architecture and Memories. We invite participants to share with us, in just 17 syllables, the architecture that has settled in their memories.
We welcome haiku entries from collegians, professionals, academicians, researchers, and design enthusiasts. The contest is open to all.
