In this issue

Institutional Spaces are essentially meant to inspire and aspire people to contribute towards their societal responsibility, be it school, training centre, library or a community centre. That’s the reason, designing these spaces involves multiple considerations from the stakeholder’s perspective. From universities and institutes to galleries and centres, a variety of projects fall under this category of design. Keeping in mind the innumerable users of an institutional space, architects and designers need to consider the requirements of all users to make the space functional, aesthetic and resource-friendly and of course, user-friendly! This issue covers a lead story by Ar. Christopher Benninger followed by coverage of projects like a pre-school design by Renesa Architecture Design Interiors Studio; The Outdoor Classroom by Studio Infinity; an Architectural Training Centre designed by Studio Advaita; restoration of an old structure by Dhananjay Shinde Design Studio; Stacked Student Housing by Third Space Architecture and the new premises of an industry-centric institute – The Design Village by Studio Archohm. We are sure, these wide range of projects will give an insight into the various thoughts that go into designing institutional premises.

Markers In The Evolution Of Civilization

Civilisation is shared by numerous cultures! The hallmarks of civilisation are the agreed upon rules, guidelines and charters that communities and nations agree upon as the legal and acceptable codes of conduct, particularly regarding matters of justice, freedom and equality. One can see hints of the emergence of “civilisation” in the forms of primordial settlements, where single household huts begin to cluster into a circle-like form around a central, shared open space, implying that a group has reached some civil understanding of how a collection of families will live together, sharing and supporting their mutual needs, interests and meaning systems. This open, inner space in the center of a ring of dwellings is the first form of an ‘institutional space’, because this space not only becomes representative of, and a symbol of, but also a physical container of a society that physically brings it together into a meeting place, where common, public values, ideas and means to achieve them are discussed and rationalism in human behavior emerges. The institutional spaces can be seen both in rudimentary places like rustic villages, and in highly articulated public places like the Greek amphitheatres and the Roman forums.
