FRAME is instituted as an independent, biennial professional conclave on contemporary architecture in India curated by Matter and organised in partnership with Takshila Educational Society. The intent of the conclave is to provoke thought on issues that are pertinent to the practice of architecture in India.

Across two editions, the conclave has hosted 50 speakers, 1500 delegates, and 15 film screenings. The conclave is held in National Institute of Oceanography, Panjim in Goa. The inaugural edition in 2019 (16 th – 18 th August), thematically focused on Modern Heritage. It sought to reflect on the timeframe between the years 1935 and 1995, which foregrounded a vocabulary for architecture and design that subscribed to the framework of international modernism and yet was rooted in the physical and metaphysical realms of
India.
