Overview
The Architectural Haiku Writing Contest, 4th Cycle, is an initiative by the Architectural Journalism & Criticism Organization, founded by architect Pappal Suneja. This organization aims to promote awareness of architectural journalism and criticism, encouraging exploration and lyrical writing about architecture and related fields. The theme for this cycle is 'Architecture and Memories.' The contest posits that while architecture is often seen as fixed, many memorable spaces are carried within us as memories. These can include childhood homes or school corridors, spaces left behind due to migration, or even spaces from novels, films, or imagined stories. The competition challenges participants to articulate architecture that has settled in their memories. Entrants are asked to convey these reflections in a haiku format, consisting of exactly 17 syllables. This format encourages concise and evocative expression. The contest is open to a broad audience, welcoming submissions from collegians, professionals, academicians, researchers, and design enthusiasts. The primary goal is to inspire individuals to connect with and express their personal experiences and interpretations of architectural spaces through the art of haiku.
