Sharing and learning has been the epitome of our work and we have inculcated this into each of our projects from the very beginning. Having been privileged to work on the first hands on conservation project in the city, we were keen to disseminate the learning to a wider audience. Most conservation architects prescribe the use of lime mortar for restoration of historic buildings, however unlike cement mortar lime isn't readily available off the shelf. It has to be manufactured by a process. Secondly most architectural colleges do not include in their curriculum lime technology something we identified as a large gap causing lime to becoming an archived process. One of the most important learnings from the Kashmere Gate project was the effective and practical method we developed for the preparation of lime mortar. We were keen that other young professionals and budding architects should also get to learn about this process and we wanted to share this newly acquired knowledge with them. Thus was conceived what we called "The Lime Workshop", what started out as a small workshop for the students of Sunderdeep College of Architecture in Ghaziabad where Shilpa our contractor was teaching architecture. In this virtual world, with a facebook page and an online post, we had almost 120 applications from enthusiastic students that we had to send refusals since we couldn't accommodate any more in the small space we had. On a nice Saturday morning in March, we conducted back to back 3 batches each of almost 30 students a lecture and practical demonstration and hands-on work for lime mortar. This workshop was most successful in generating awareness about the material and process and we hope to continue this dissemination to others.

Aishwarya Tipnis Architects in collaboration with Department of Civil Engineering and Department of Architecture and Planning, Indian Institute of Technology have conceptualized a four part cross disciplinary workshop leading to the recycling of historic buildings within the IIT Rookee's (erstwhile Thomason College of Engineering) 165 year old Campus. The first Jam held on 3rd-4th May focused on experiential mapping where participants were encouraged to work within multi-disciplinary teams to understand the sense of place of the Campus. The next jam to be held in August 2016.

One of the most important tools for urban heritage management is community engagement, which empowers the people to identify key values in their urban areas, articulate their aspirations and visions for the town. The urban conservation plan for Chinsurah was developed with the aim of engaging with the community from the very onset. The interpretation strategy worked with a two-pronged approach for community engagement to bring out the values associated with Chinsurah, to define what it considers valuable, what it wants to pass on to the next generation and thereby instilling a sense of pride within the community. The aim was to build awareness around the significance of their heritage and assist them to play responsible stakeholders of their heritage. A number of engagement activities such as mental mapping, painting competition, comic book workshop and heritage walks spanning from a couple of hours to a fortnight were planned and executed with the community.

A hands-on workshop was organised at the Seth Ram Lal Khemka Haveli for young professionals, where they worked with the craftsmen to develop the pattern for china mosaic flooring. This collaborative workshop allowed the young architects to explore the lost techniques and share and learn with the craftsmen.

We started our new year with conceiving and curating a 7 day workshop Reimaging The Town Upcycling in the Public Space with students of design from MIT Institute of Design andL'Йcole de design Nantes Atlantique,  India Studio  in collaboration with Samuel Remy Villette Makerz,  Sayantan Maitra  and Hйlиne Thйbault Supported by  The French Institute in India Consulate General of France in Calcutta Alliance Franзaise du Bengale, Terra Indica Collective Chandernagore Municipal Corporation and Chandernagore Govt College (College Dupleix). The students worked with recycled material, created prototypes in the public space at the Strand in Chandernagore for the use of the local community. The live feedback from the community in a real life situation was immensely enriching for the students.
