GLITZ architecture & interiors - May 2026

In dieser Ausgabe

We begin with The Anti-Destination by Mukesh Bhatia and Tanishq Bhatia of SSB Architects, rethinking the museum as urban infrastructure rather than isolated monument. Our special story examines how projects like Sabarmati Ashram Museum by Charles Correa, Virasat-E-Khalsa by Moshe Safdie, Bihar Museum by Maki and Associates & Opolis Architects, Vadnagar Archaeological Experiential Museum by Meinhardth, Smritivan Earthquake Museum by Vastushilpa Sangath LLP, and the Museum of Art & Photography by Mathew & Ghosh Architects, reshape cultural memory through contemporary Indian architecture. On the cover, Sacred Return features The Light and the Lotus: Relics of the Awakened One by Siddharth Bathla of Design Factory India, marking the return of the Piprahwa gem relics and restoring their spiritual context through a carefully choreographed exhibition design. In Meditative, Sanjay Puri presents the Aatma Manthan Museum, Nathdwara, where architecture becomes a journey of introspection. From object-led storytelling in Networks of the Past by Abhishek Ray and Michelle Vas of Matrika Design Collaborative, to Gandhi Reframed by Shekhar Badve of Lokusdesign, and the immersive Legacy Walk of the MCA Sharad Pawar Cricket Museum by Avadhut Kadu of SSA, the issue reveals museums as emotional and civic experiences. We also feature Museums as Instruments of the Future by Kulapat Yantrasast of WHY, Heritage as Experience by Shikha Jain of DRONAH, Jhansi Space Museum by Pan Intellecom Ltd., the Dinosaur Museum by Vandana Raj of Vama Projects, and the cinematic Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Memorial Museum by Amit Gupta of Nolabel Immersive Experiences.
