INTRO

This tropical modern residence is a refreshing architectural amalgamation of well-lit interiors and a contemporary exterior.

Surrounded by lush greens, this simplistic duplex structure gives us major goals on how a residence in a densely plotted neighborhood in a place like Noida can look like.

 

 

RED BRICK FACADE

This modern residence features patterned brick tiled exterior walls overlooking the lush flora. The Façade is juxtaposed with layers of metal screens in form of railings, louvers and doors with exterior walls.

 

 

THE INTEGRATED STAIRCASE

This duplex has a two set of staircases. While, the common staircase connects the whole house from outside, the internal staircase integrates the lower two floors from within. The sleek balustrades of the staircase connect directly to the ceiling, creating an encased effect that still lets visuals and light pass through. The sunlight leaves traces on the neutral walls, creating geometric lines.

 

 

A BRIGHT SKYLIGHT

A skylight over the internal staircase ensures the penetration of daylight into the house in all spaces. It acts as a slit in the roof plane, allowing the user to experience connection with the sky while being inside.

NEUTRAL INTERIORS

If the bright vivid colour just isn’t your jam, this residence is surely going to appease your senses with its white minimal walls and polished marble floors.

Needless to say, with the right decor going, all neutral is anything but boring.

Gender. Hysteria. Architecture. | “How Did a Diagnosis Learn to Draw Walls?”

Did these spaces heal women or teach them how to disappear? Aditi A., through her research study as a part of the CEPT Writing Architecture course, in this chapter follows hysteria as it migrates from text to typology, inquiring how architectural decisions came to stand in for care itself. Rather than assuming architecture responded to illness, the inquiry turns the question around: did architecture help produce the vulnerability it claimed to manage?

Gender. Hysteria. Architecture. | “When Did Care Become Confinement?”

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.
