Hyderabad Architecture Foundation

The Hyderabad Architecture Foundation is a leading independent centre for arts and architecture. It proposes to present an unrivalled programme of talks, events, debates, exhibitions, competitions, film shows and other awareness projects. Through numerous outreach programs, grants, and educational resources, HAF aims to inspire people to become thoughtful and engaged stewards of the world around them.

Our role is to promote and encourage the best in contemporary art and architecture, and bringing it to a wide public. Through our projects and events we work with some of the world’s most outstanding architects, designers and other influential and inspiring people.

The Hyderabad Architecture Foundation (HAF) is a non-profit organization that seeks to promote awareness towards the contribution of architecture and community design to the quality of life. HAF aims to inspire people to become thoughtful of the world around them and bring about a better public understanding and involvement. The Foundation is a small organisation with a Board of Trustees composed of individuals from a wide cross-section of interests and professions - design and architecture, the arts, media, education and business.

Architecture affects everyone; it affects our mental well being and quality of life in profound ways. It is the most public of all arts. It has the power to improve the lives and transform the places where we live, learn, work and play. It touches all of us every day. Recognizing this important role of architecture to our lives, HAF’s programs will include initiatives that help improve the built environment through the collaboration of professionals, designers, leaders and local communities.

HAF proposes to present a stimulating program of talks, events, debates, exhibitions, competitions and other projects. It also strives to promote and encourage the best in contemporary and traditional architecture and bringing it to a wide public. In achieving its aims HAF is closely working with other national and international organizations that share similar concerns.

HAF aims to
• facilitate and foster the appreciation of art and architecture, both traditional and contemporary, local and global
• inspire, provoke and cultivate new ideas and provide platform for exchange of ideas
• foster a social culture of collaboration, participation and debate
• bring out the relationship between architecture and other forms of art such as music, dance, sculpture, photography and cinema.
Objectives
• Hold awareness campaigns for architecture students, children and general public
• Provide a platform to showcase the talent and views of young architects and recognize their achievements
• Organize exhibitions , lectures and film festivals

  3. It been ages that we updated this blog.. with FB becoming so powerful and compelling.. blogging appears for those more for thoughtfulness and content. The current topic that we are working on an international design Residency programme in Hyderabad with a french architect Patrick Henry. the proposed project is the Salarjung Museum on the Musi River front. Given the strong historical context that it has, the museum is located in an area which is very sensitive to the socio culture fabric of the city and at the same time has a very strong context of architectural heritage and urban design. Watch out for this space for more on this in coming weeks!!!!
