Abstract

This article examines discourses of time and temporality in architectural design and construction in India’s National Capital Region (NCR). Working with data gathered from fifteen months of ethnographic research in the construction industry in NCR between 2012 and 2013, the article argues that intermingled discourses of past, present, and future in construction serve to perpetuate labour hierarchies and accumulation in design. It calls for architects and designers to critically analyse the socio-economic and political workings of their own production chains, and to pay attention to the nuances through which power operates in the profession.
