Skywalk at ITO, New Delhi - Winning Design Concept Presentation, by B&S Engineering Consultants, Mathur & Kapre Associates and Design Business Corporation, LLP 1For the Skywalk at ITO at New Delhi, which is one of the busiest junction, a design competition was floated in 2016 by Public Works Department. The RFP, by Delhi Government for the competition mentioned,

“Besides a large volume of vehicular traffic, the ITO area also has a heavy concentration of pedestrian traffic. There are over 25 major Offices in the ITO area, besides a metro station, the Tilak Bridge Railway Station and seven major arterial roads which leads to inter-crossing of pedestrian with vehicular traffic, threatening lives of pedestrians. Further, with the newly commissioned Phase-III metro station in ITO on Bahadur Shah Zafar (BSZ) Marg, the volume of pedestrian traffic in the area is going to shoot up as more people will shift to the metro for transport to and from ITO area. Moreover, a new complex for the Hon’ble Supreme Court is also coming up near the Pragati Maidan Metro Station which will further increase the pedestrian traffic.”

The competition was won by a joint venture between – B&S Engineering Consultants, Mathur & Kapre Associates and Design Business Corporation, LLP.

Did these spaces heal women or teach them how to disappear?

Was architecture used by society to spatially “manage” women and their autonomy? Aditi A., through her research study as a part of the CEPT Writing Architecture course, examines the period before psychiatry, when fear had already become architectural, tracing how women’s autonomy was spatially managed through domestic regulation, witch hunts, informal confinement, and early institutional planning.

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.
