Interior Design of Manav Gangwani Showroom at DLF Emporio by Studio Lotus

Manav Gangwani Showroom at DLF Emporio: Manav Gangwani's garments symbolize glamour, the silhouettes dramatic yet timeless. To create a shell for the garments our design response was to create a contemporary abstraction of a timeless form. Our inspiration was the grottos- an intimate cave like space, which forms the foundation of many classical structures.

Manav Gangwani’s garments symbolize glamour, the silhouettes dramatic yet timeless. To create a shell for the garments our design response was to create a contemporary abstraction of a timeless form. Our inspiration was the grottos- an intimate cave like space, which forms the foundation of many classical structures. We decided to work with a formal architectural expression rather than creating a decorative interior design experience keeping in mind the embellished quality of the garments on display.
We created a series of framing devices, which helped us in creating individual alcoves for different collections and a central axis for selected showstoppers. We wanted to create a sense of discovery in the store–from outside one sees a row of mannequins reminiscent of a ramp, the garments reveal themselves only when the customer starts exploring the store.Manav Gangwani’s garments symbolize glamour, the silhouettes dramatic yet timeless.

Rather than assuming architecture responded to illness, the inquiry turns the question around: did architecture help produce the vulnerability it claimed to manage?

Was architecture used by society to spatially “manage” women and their autonomy?

A Modernist’s Doubt: Symbolism and the Late Career Turn

Why did acclaimed modernist architects suddenly introduce historical symbolism like arches, decorative elements, and other cultural references into their work after decades of disciplined restraint? Sudipto Ghosh interrogates this 1980s-90s symbolic turn as a rupture in architecture, questioning whether this represents an authentic reconnection with content and memory, or is it a mere superficial gesture towards absent meanings. Drawing from Heidegger’s analysis of the Greek temple, he distinguishes two modes of architectural representation, ultimately judging that this turn was a nascent rebellion against modernism that may have failed to achieve genuine integration of context, material, and memory.
