The inaugural day was set in motion by an internationally renowned architect, James Law, founder and CEO of James Law Cybertecture, who emotively discussed the current and future implications of design and developments around the world. “We may perhaps realize and rouse in few years from now, but it might be too late by then,” he said, while he argued on the hasty consumption of natural resources and a lot of energy, allegedly in quest of a better life. We certainly cannot cease building houses, roads, networks, infrastructure or more cities but, are we doing it the right way? The question here is, how do we evolve a 21st century city? We have discovered and learnt a lot from our past, and one must; however, we should not overlook the requirements and essentials of this day and age, he explained.

James affirmed his innate belief in every individual, in the vision and ability to design for our future and counseled that if only each of us adapted, thought out and created sustainably to give way to a balanced, evolved and healthy living, our living spaces would speak a very meaningful language. The architect continued by presenting some of his noteworthy works in India and overseas to reinforce his thought process.
