The world of speculative design affords us the liberty of approaching urban planning through lenses we would have conventionally disregarded as overly ambitious or impractical. In today’s conversation, we think out loud about unused garden spaces outside malls, the function of terrace gardens and farmers as service providers.

Depanshu Gola co-runs a research-backed design studio, Architecture for Dialogue (AfD) with Abhimanyu Singhal. His work at AfD explores the future of architecture and habitat. The studio has participated in projects across city-making, futurism, experience design and public engagement — often working in intersections. Depanshu was selected as one of the top 20under35 emerging Indian designers by DesignXDesign in 2021.
