Galeecha Experience Centre at Mumbai by Sameep Padora & Associates

The red carpet here actually sweeps you off your feet here at The Galeecha Experience Centre, where this eye-catching element tilts up to sinuously form a partition, a staircase and eventually a bridge that ties the varied products displays with a single dramatic gesture! The balance between display and stocking is managed discretely along the walls to maximise the spacious nature of the industrial gala, giving the carpets the floor space required to be experienced completely. The fixtures below each display effectively light up the white backdrop, expanding the space perceptibly while providing adequate lighting to free up the ceiling for a display of awnings.

Architecture, Power, and the Poor | “As a profession, architecture lacks moral position and has become complicit in the neoliberal dispossession of the poor.”—Vivek Rawal

Vivek Rawal argues that architecture—as a profession—is structurally aligned with political and economic power rather than social justice. He critiques how architectural education and practice prioritise developers and real estate over communities, turning housing into a market commodity. Even movements like sustainability and participation, he says, often become tools for elite consumption rather than genuine empowerment. True moral reform, according to Rawal, would mean architects relinquishing control and enabling community-led design and housing decisions.
