Kala Ghoda Arts Festival
Researcher and doctoral scholar Curt Gambetta (Princeton University) will present from his long-running interest and intense research on the role of concrete as a building material and the cultures of living and cities. In this talk he will discuss three episodes in a history of material alternatives / substitutes — concrete industry in the 1930-60s; alternative building materials in the 70s; and the middle class imitation of materials after liberalisation.
