Brutalism, a style of architecture that emerged in the 1950s post-World War II, gained prominence primarily in Europe as a modern and innovative response to the economic crises many nations faced. Initially celebrated for its stark, honest use of materials and its potential to provide affordable, functional buildings, Brutalism eventually fell out of favor by the 1980s. The weathering of its exposed concrete surfaces often led to perceptions of the style as harsh and unappealing.

In India, the Brutalist movement found expression mainly in Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, and Delhi, with a limited presence in cities like Kanpur, Mehsana, and Bangalore. This research aims to explore the advent of Modernist architecture in India through the lens of Brutalism and its impact on society. Through comprehensive on-site case studies of Modernist buildings in Ahmedabad, Delhi, and Chandigarh, the study delves into how Brutalist architecture interacted with and influenced the urban landscape and the people who inhabit it.

The research also seeks to develop a multidisciplinary platform for architectural discourse, envisioning a space where discussions can be held on various architectural topics, from emerging trends to societal challenges that could be addressed through design. Initially, the Premabai Hall was considered a starting point for this project. However, due to spatial constraints on the plot and the requirement for a minimum built-up area of 4,500 square meters, the possibility of conserving the hall was explored but ultimately deemed unfeasible.

Kochi is on the cusp of embracing its regional culture and infrastructure development,
requiring an architectural intervention that reflects the city’s spirit. The city aims to create
ultra-connected work environments and City Hubs, providing a convenient and efficient
lifestyle for young citizens. The project aims to create a “buzzy,” ultra-connected public
realm with service apartments, offices, retail, and entertainment integrated with a bus
terminal, metro station, and water metro channels.
Kerala and Kochi have a unique regional identity that is celebrated globally. Kerala has a
unique model of development characterized by high sustainability values, human
development achievements and social equality, making it a model to be emulated. The
architecture community in Kerala, evident in large projects like the CIAL, is an inspiration
for moving forward.
The “Gateway of Kerala” project uses towers to create a frame with functions through a
podium and skywalks connecting parallel towers. The architectural language and
technological armature are crucial to raise the narrative, transforming site constraints like
trees, riverfront, and iconic bus terminal into drivers for the vision. Although the project
has a commercial aspect, it still maintains democratic values due to its institutional
structure and untouched natural resources.
“ The Urban Hub in Vytilla is an ode to Kochi itself, which is a city in the cup of being the
next metropolitan city while strongly rooted in its natural and cultural roots, intended in
this project by marrying the idea of future in terms of its pragmatic needs – a mixed use
program and sensitizing it with the strong visual identity reinventing the globally
celebrated culture and architectural language of the region of Kochi. ’’

In the Digital Age, where basic needs are easily met and alternative job opportunities are abundant, relying solely on work for fulfilment and contentment is insufficient. The accessibility of information and technology has led to a decline in the quality of life outside of work hours, indicating a neglect of mental well-being. Consequently, individuals seek escapism and mindless entertainment as a means of respite from work pressures. However, this does not indicate a lack of passion or interest, but rather a need for supportive urban infrastructure that encourages hobbies and passionate pursuits. Urban environments with high living costs pose challenges in allocating resources towards activities like arts, sports, or music.

This project addresses the lack of accessible and available neighbourhood infrastructures for pursuing personal interests and hobbies in Newtown Kolkata, a satellite city, that caters to diverse hobbies. It draws inspiration from the personal journeys of individuals who have faced constraints, such as limited space, while pursuing their diverse range of hobbies and passions. The area is dominated by multi-story apartment buildings and single-family houses. The sparse apartment carpet areas limit the users’ passionate pursuits and therefore becomes an inevitable challenge for them. The project seeks to uncover narratives and propose solutions embedded within the fabric of the neighbourhood to foster a supportive ecosystem for hobbies and enhance the overall well-being of its residents.

The proposal focuses on developing modular community hubs as inclusive and vibrant spaces that cater to a wide variety of interests. The project blends sustainable principles with prefabricated construction methodologies by utilizing modular design approach to provide flexible venues for creativity and self-expression. Strategic placement of these hubs encourages social interaction and knowledge exchange among residents with varied hobbies and interests.

Farmers are dependent on nature. When a farmer is totally relying on agriculture, he covers almost all the prime and even secondary land with it. Thus, the farming family becomes dependent on the market for profits and revenue to sustain their family. Depleting groundwater levels, pest attacks, and mounting debts have made farmers’ lives in Vidarbha notoriously difficult. Because of the failure in agriculture, total dependency on agriculture for income, and due to various reasons, farmers often take loans from private money lenders and land in a debt trap. In order to be completely independent of agriculture, we need a settlement, a model that allows us to carry outside trades.
There is a need for a rural facilitation venter, where small-scale industrial activities could be carried out where the goal would be to make the sale of the commodities to the open market. Through this model, the income of the farmers would not be streamlined but of a multisource nature. Being self-sufficient (at the individual or even village level) and increasing the value of crops will help solve Vidarbha’s agricultural crisis. There are numerous business activities that are practiced rurally on a small scale which if practiced in substantial numbers could generate revenue that can stabilize farmer families’ economies. ‘Value addition to the farmer’s yield’ could be an answer for the negative tag Vidarbha has got for agriculture.
The intent of the project is to provide a physical space for the farmer families of the villages of Vidarbha, where they could come together and practice rural-level industrial activities so that the farmers do not have to depend on agriculture as their main source of income.

Since 2018 tidal flooding has become a silent disaster that’s been eating into the Vypin communities and their livelihood,

“A disaster that only effects the poor vulnerable section of society, and no one is willing to pause or stop their life for a disaster they can just run away from. “

-Sreeja, Research Director at Equinoct

And so, I shine a new light onto the alarm-struck water edges by creating a harmonious interface between nature & man and water & land in Edavanakad, which is home to a small fishermen community.

Keeping ecology, economy and living, as the base requirements and developing them through flood resilience measures as well as climate strategies that work together to provide the optimal solution.

You see the entire community coming together, rebuilding its roots step by step, to bring in resilience and economic stability for the greater good of preserving the essence of the fishing community and lifestyle.

The case of Edavanakad will stand as a strong example, of how using architecture as a catalyst we can actively promote the beauty of communal living whilst strengthening and encouraging a new symbiotic lifestyle.

Rising sea levels and rain induced floods, place low-lying areas and wetlands on the frontline of change. Viewing floods as perpetual events may alter our perspective, urging us to move beyond temporary solutions.
Pulicat Lake, India’s second-largest brackish water lagoon, graces the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh borders, embraced by 52 villages. From tsunamis to rain-induced floods, Pulicat and its community have weathered it all. Population rises due to the lake’s abundant biodiversity. Silting of the barmouth disrupts water exchange, decreasing salinity levels and impacting thriving biodiversity. Conversely, eroding sandbars create multiple openings, elevating salinity and affecting the ecosystem once more. In this whole process the lake depth decreases, affecting the community to movement.
This project has eco-friendly, renewable-energy-powered structures, minimizing our footprint while nurturing the community’s needs sustainably. On the policy level the community will receive incentives to keep barmouth intact. Incentives for researchers and scientists to work with the community forging a new path forward. Zero waste tolerance policy, livelihood opportunities with seaweed farming, vertical farming, ecotourism and the community as a pitstop for fishermen going in the sea for fishing.

Nature as a medium has a lot to offer such as its course and ability to drastically transform. When dealing with the human psyche, the constant variations of behavioral reactions also are essential considerations to be made while designing for and in the Anthropocene. The noticed yet ignored dichotomy of permanence and impermanence in architecture dealing with dynamism in a context, when looked upon,
would enable us to form a better notion of space, place, and people and thus, to design for The Impermanence in Architecture.
People change, Context changes, Climate changes, then why cant architecture change from time to time to become relevant and sustain the changing times. The architecture of Impermanence is a pursuit to engage the user with something old and something new by employing potential factors of imagination, association, and relation. Thus, Perceiving design as a continual state transition that acts as a possible
alternative solution to the change.
The Case of Premabhai Hall is considered as a hypothetical understanding for this modular idea to be implemented in a context as dynamic as the old city of Ahmedabad – The Bhadra Plaza. To propose an alternative approach of design where the life of the building is mapped through a series of potential cultural shifts witnessed and interventions planned as responses for the building to stay relevant and for it to sustain the changing times and demands. Buildings as Beings and their response to Change and Changelessness as a phenomenon.

The Zaffron Park, an ambitious architectural thesis project located in Pampore, Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, draws its name “Zaffron” from the Urdu term for “Saffron.” It envisions a transformative approach to saffron cultivation using vertical and hydroponic farming techniques, aiming to revitalize the industry. This innovative complex will include a research center, interpretation center, recreational area, and residential facilities, fostering agricultural advancement, sustainable architecture, and tourism. Traditionally, saffron farming in Kashmir has followed conventional methods, but low yields during harvest have prompted interest in newer techniques like vertical farming and hydroponics. The proposed Zaffron Park, spanning 45.7 acres on government crop land, targets increased saffron yield through modern practices. Located in Pampore, renowned for its saffron quality, the site is well-connected by NH1 Highway to Pampore Railway Station (4KM) and Pampore Bus Stand (2.4KM). While the Jammu and Kashmir government is working to enhance saffron production, the innovative approach of vertical and hydroponic farming has yet to be formally considered. The Zaffron Park, with its multifunctional vision, aspires to empower local communities and contribute to the growth of saffron cultivation, making strides towards a more sustainable and productive future.
