with Achyut Siddu
Part I
Design: Education Against all Odds
Achyut is an architect with an M.Sc in Design for Sustainable Development. Born and raised in India, the uncertainty of social impacts of any creation fascinated him. This continued interest led him to explore and participate at the Grassroots level – by empowering through design and ultimately giving back to those less fortunate.
In this episode, Achyut takes us on a journey through his time at architecture school, his love for inclusive and participatory design as well as a rather unconventional route to get to Africa – via Sweden.
From Playocracy to Education Against All Odds, Achyut discusses his work as a designer in the domain of pedagogical transformation of childhood education in informal settlements, as well as the future of the same.
