SOSA Cross Sections: Typology Talks

The Society of South Asian Architects (SOSA) is back with its annual CROSS SECTIONS event.

CROSS SECTIONS returns with a fresh lens: Typology Talks — where practice meets purpose through the frameworks that shape how we live, work, and heal. From reimagined heritage sites to new models of housing and care, this year’s speed-discussion format brings together six leading voices in adaptive reuse, residential, and healthcare design.

Through intimate, rapid-fire conversations, SOSA’s speakers will share the challenges, strategies, and moments of insight that define architectural practice today. Whether you’re a student, emerging designer, or seasoned professional, you’ll leave with new ideas and real-world reflections.

Each typology holds more than function — it carries systems, stories, and the potential for impact.
