At first sight, Yashobhoomi is defined by scale. Vast exhibition halls, monumental entrances, an auditorium for thousands, enormous public foyers and a dramatic media façade immediately establish the project as a major piece of contemporary public architecture.
Look more closely, however, and the architecture of Yashobhoomi reveals a more layered story. Indian stepwells, jalis, rangoli…
The architecture of the White House is recognised across the world. Its white stone walls, formal symmetry, classical columns and prominent porticoes have created an image closely associated with the presidency of the United States. Yet the building seen today is not simply an eighteenth-century mansion preserved unchanged for more than 200 years.
The White…
Interior design depends on more than selecting attractive furniture, colours and decorative objects. The way these elements are grouped, spaced and visually balanced has an equally important influence on how a room is perceived. One simple styling technique used to create more considered arrangements is known as the 3-5-7 rule in interior design.

For years, contemporary interiors seemed to follow a familiar formula: neutral walls, streamlined furniture, carefully coordinated accessories and as little visual clutter as possible. Gen Z interior design is helping challenge that idea of what a stylish home should look like.
Instead of aiming for a perfectly matched room, many younger decorators are embracing colour,…
When we hear the words interior design, it is easy to imagine beautiful furniture, carefully selected colours, dramatic lighting and perfectly styled spaces. But professional interior design goes much further than how a room looks.
Interior designers consider how people use a space, how they move through it, what materials are appropriate, how lighting supports…

Ask almost any final-year architecture student what the most stressful part of the thesis is, and surprisingly, the answer may not be designing the project. It is deciding what to design in the first place.
Finding the right architecture thesis topic can feel overwhelming because your thesis is expected to bring together almost everything you…
Mumbai is a city where architecture rarely gets the luxury of being simple. Space is scarce, land values are high, the climate is demanding, heritage sits beside rapid redevelopment, and every new project becomes part of an exceptionally dense urban fabric.
It is perhaps why some of the top architects in Mumbai have developed such…
Architecture is more than the art of constructing buildings. It is a record of how people lived, what societies valued, which technologies were available and how ideas about beauty changed over time. From the precisely proportioned temples of ancient Greece to the raw concrete buildings of Brutalism and the experimental forms of contemporary architecture, every…
A construction project may look complete when the scaffolding comes down, the interiors are cleaned and the finishing touches are in place. But for architects, contractors, project managers, engineers and developers, this is often when one of the most important phases begins: the final construction quality inspection before project handover.
Project handover is much more…
