BALANCING HERITAGE AND PROGRESS
April 2025
|Architecture + Design
In the dynamic world of architecture, finding a harmonious balance between preserving history and embracing progress is an ongoing challenge. A prime example of successfully navigating this delicate task is the redevelopment of Bangalore Cantonment by STHAPATI, a Delhi-based architectural firm.

The designing of public spaces is a multifaceted endeavor, necessitating the consideration of numerous variables that influence design decisions. The historical context, cultural and heritage significance, demographic characteristics, as well as aesthetic, safety, and functional requirements, all converge to form a complex matrix that designers must navigate. This intricate interplay of factors renders the design of public spaces a formidable challenge. The redevelopment of Bangalore Cantonment Station exemplifies a successful approach to this delicate task. Here, meticulous restoration safeguards the Grade 2 listed building while seamlessly integrating new structures with modern amenities. This innovative strategy ensures the station continues to serve the community while retaining its significant heritage value.
