Description:
This project series documents a meditation and yoga kendra complex for Yog Sadhna Samiti in the Saket area of Meerut, India from 1982-1983. The project consisted of a U-shaped building with a round meditation hall located between the arms of the U. An outdoor veranda ran through the floor plan, connecting four different volumes. One volume was the meditation hall, another was a stage and large hall, and the other two contained rooms such as a doctor's office, bathtubs, well-being facilities and a library. There are multiple schemes in this project that show different room configurations and uses, but all of which follow a similar exterior envelope. This project is recorded through plans, elevations, sections and a perspective dating from 1982-1983.

Description:
The Architectural projects series, 1957-2007, records 82 architectural projects of Aditya Prakash throughout his career as an architect in Chandigarh, India. Most of these projects were completed with his daughter, Chetna Prakash, through his private practice, Arcon Architects, from 1982-2007. These projects include private residences, housing complexes, university campuses, schools, factories, theatres, sport and yoga centres, offices and furniture, among others. The projects include built work, competition entries and proposals, though it is not always clear which projects were realized. While many projects were located in Chandigarh, the series documents projects across northern India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The projects in this series were identified based on their unique locations and dates. Some projects, located at the same site, consisted of multiple buildings and were designed and/or constructed over long periods of time. The materials for projects like this are described together in one project series, instead of being separated out by building or time period. These projects are recorded largely through original drawings, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, axonometric views and working drawings. However, materials for each project are sparse, often consisting of only 1-10 drawings. Textual records and photographs are also included in the materials for a few projects. The photographs show completed work, while the textual records primarily consist of client correspondence.

Based on that research, she develops the concept of "power-chronography" to make visible the entangled and uneven politics of temporality. Focusing on how people's different relationships to labor configures their experience of time, she argues that both "speed-up" and "slow-down" often function as a form of biopolitical social control necessary to contemporary global capitalism.

Pondicherry is a seaside town where the French influence can still be seen in its architecture, street names, and local language. Yet Tamil architectural styles can also be found there. This guidebook includes four Auroville itineraries structured around the experimental township’s master plan, which is divided into four zones. A fifth itinerary is located in Auromodele, which is outside the main part of the city. Likewise, three Pondicherry itineraries correspond with the city’s three main geographical zones: French Quarter, Tamil Quarter, and suburban areas.

La transformation du mode de vie était abordée également sur un plan personnel, avec par exemple l’intérêt pour le yoga qui apparaît en filigrane. Le catalogue associait également démarche écologique, sensibilité hippie et intérêt pour la cybernétique. Paradoxalement, il annonçait ainsi la transformation de nos sociétés par les nouvelles technologies de l’information.

Résolument politique, cet ouvrage collectif de textes de fiction (poésie, récits, nouvelles et textes hybrides) pense l’affect, les mécanismes de défense, les obsessions, les impulsions, la mélancolie, la douleur chronique ou l’anxiété comme des voies privilégiées pour aborder toutes les manières de prendre soin de soi, qu’elles soient new age, ancestrales, individualistes, solidaires ou (anti) capitalistes. Sans bouder les sheet masks et les eye patches, ces auteurices méditent, font du yoga, pratiquent une sexualité complexe, s’engagent politiquement et, surtout, écrivent. Leurs textes sont dotés d’un tel sentiment d’urgence qu’ils prouvent que le self-care des personnes socialement marginalisées est toujours investi d’une quête plus grande : pour elles, prendre soin de soi, c’est aussi se réparer et se recréer collectivement.

He published books, drove a Mercedes and regularly vacationed in the Caribbean. By most societal standards, he had achieved great success... And yet he couldn't escape the feeling that something was missing. Psilocybin and LSD changed that. During a period of experimentation, Alpert peeled away each layer of his identity, disassociating from himself as a professor, a social cosmopolite, and lastly, as a physical being. Fear turned into exaltation upon the realization that at his truest, he was just his inner-self: a luminous being that he could trust indefinitely and love infinitely. And thus, a spiritual journey commenced. Alpert headed to India where his guru renamed him Baba Ram Dass - "servant of God." He was introduced to mindful breathing exercises, hatha yoga, and Eastern philosophy. If he found himself reminiscing or planning, he was reminded to "Be Here Now."
