One of the earliest planned cities of modern India, Jaipur is resplendent in all its blush pink glory. Dotted with UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this famously historical city is a melting pot of Indian art, architecture, music, food and design. Over the years, the city has had a few modern upgrades, seamlessly interspersed with traditional elements, to create an aesthetic that&rsquo;s characteristic to its culture. One of the city&rsquo;s residents and flagbearers of Indian design is our curator Shantanu Garg, who brings the city alive with a virtual representation of its layout.<img class="img1-thumbnail" oheight="322&quot;" original="https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/573/536456/5f89273184466/page171602823978.jpg" owidth=447 oheight=322" owidth="447" src="https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/573/536456/5f89273184466/page171602823978.jpg" owidth=447 oheight=322" style="position: relative;margin:5px;" />Shantanu uses the flexibility of the digital platform to play with scale, unusual material interpretations and design complexities. The venue is divided into nine blocks signifying a similar divison of the city in the 1700s by Maharaja Jai Singh II. Laid out on the principles of Vaastu, each of the blocks is bathed in the city&rsquo;s primary hue - salmon pink. As you progress through the venue, you will be introduced to significant elements of the architecture of Jaipur, with a modern twist - broad avenues, grand arches, the square-shaped baradaris with multiple doorways for air circulation, pergolas inspired by Mughal jaalis, open-to-sky central courtyards, and large ceiling domes. As you would in an actual venue, you will experience the play of light and shadow, and a deeper, more insightful impression of the history and splendour of Jaipur.
