Exploring and investigating cultural, architectural and urban spaces has been at the heart of Borivli-s School of Environment and Architecture SEA-s mission. Started by a passionate team of eight architects in 2014, the school in the last six years, has held a fortnightly multi-disciplinary lecture series called the SEA City, where they invite architects and spatial practitioners engaged in thinking of ways of life and living.

A similar conversation series was being discussed for the new year, when the Coronavirus outbreak put a stop to their plans. "Accessing a physical space for a conversation is now impossible. But the advantage was that we now didn-t have to worry about the geographical and political impediments or tight budgets, which otherwise determined whom we could invite," says Rupali Gupte, professor and co-founder of SEA, and coordinator of the South Asia Programme at the school.
