Breaking the myths of Islamic Architecture | Sohail Hashmi | TEDxAryabhattaCollege

"Architecture is not about math or zoning — it's about visceral emotions" Sohail Hashmi explores the history of Islamic Architecture and the myths related to it through this talk. Sohail Hashmi, a Historian, an Academician and filmmaker, is well-known for the immersive heritage walks that he conducts around the capital. Dressed in a refreshingly crisp Khadi shirt, he carries the air of Old Delhi with him. Besides being a historian, Hashmi is a memory keeper- a narration of his lived experiences would leave you craving for more. Reflecting and disseminating his experiences, which his eyes witnessed during his heritage visits with his father, he personifies the rich heritage culture of Delhi through his words and reflects it through his vision. He is a “Delhiite” in a true sense. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
