DESIGNING URBAN INSIDE

Minor identity of the circulation spaces in the building may be turned around by metaphorically conceptualising them as public streets. In the showcased projects, those public elements break out of that metaphorical state to become real in themselves and start affecting the overall organisation in their favour. Either through independent production of the public realm in Correa's Salt Lake City Centre in Kolkata or by an independent representation of a formal complexity in Somaya's Indore campus, and for Hundredhands and Architecture Red, where the urban designers are able to generate a substantial and dominant spatial realm, where public and private places remain almost seamlessly integrated. Studio Lotus converts a gated private part of the city into a public space by partial transformation and brings the city directly into the site.
