The recent STHAPATI newsletter highlights that Institutional campuses continue to evolve as environments where legacy and expansion operate together.

Recent work across campuses, including IIT Jodhpur and IIT Bombay, reflects an approach that engages both new development and brownfield expansion within existing academic frameworks. The focus remains on creating environments that support evolving modes of learning, research, and interaction.

Retail has become a significant part of the airport experience, extending beyond utility to shape how passengers engage with the terminal during transit.

Its integration requires careful alignment with movement patterns, where food, retail, and services are positioned along natural circulation routes rather than imposed onto them.

This ensures that commercial activity and passenger flow operate within a coherent spatial structure, supporting both experience and efficiency.

Temples of Awadh by Principal Architect Vipul Varshneya was recently reviewed by The Indian Book Club.

The review highlights the book’s exploration of mythology, sacred geography, architecture, and cultural memory across the Awadh region. It also acknowledges the depth of research that informs the work, alongside its visual presentation and detailed mapping of both prominent and lesser-known temples and pilgrimage sites across North India.

Airports today must anticipate change. Their design should adapt to the dynamic nature of the airport’s operational framework.

Large-scale modifications can be avoided by incorporating flexible considerations, such as clear structural spans, modular service distribution, and reconfigurable interior systems.

This reduces material waste generation and limits the embodied carbon associated with repeated modifications.
Anticipating growth in the mobility sector in India’s Tier-II cities, a terminal must integrate scalable passenger and service-flow systems.

At the Belagavi airport, expansive entrance and departure areas are designed for openness and efficient flow, accommodating increasing passenger volumes. Tall columns and a well-lit interior enhance a sense of grandeur and spaciousness.

Externally, GRC forms a durable, high-performance material that makes the sense of grandeur feel seamless. Its ability to mould into precise panels allows for flexibility and efficient installation. Being capable of sustaining large spans with reduced thickness, it becomes a lightweight material that eases structural demand.

The Secunderabad Railway Station redevelopment is structured as a phased infrastructure project spanning 16 operational platforms, enabling transformation without disrupting active rail movement.

A modular roof system and unified concourse strategy organise circulation and amenities into a coordinated framework. This allows the station to evolve in stages while maintaining operational continuity.

At its core, the project introduces a twin-level air concourse over an operational railway line, redefining how vertical planning and capacity expansion can be achieved in railway infrastructure.

The redevelopment of Secunderabad Railway Station reimagined it as a continuous passenger environment rather than just a transit hub.

The station is structured as a layered public interface, integrating arrival, circulation, and waiting into a coherent spatial experience. The focus is on improving legibility and flow across a complex mobility node.

The design stands as a model for upcoming stations to serve as structured urban interfaces, designed for clarity, accessibility, and the passenger experience.

Airport designs today are required to process growing passenger volumes while maintaining clarity, efficiency, and a consistent user experience.

Scale, in this context, is not limited to size. It is shaped by how movement is organised, how systems are integrated, and how spatial hierarchies are established to support seamless flow. Capacity is addressed through planning frameworks that anticipate peak conditions, distribute load, and maintain legibility across large footprints.

This evolving approach reflects a shift in how terminals are conceived, where architecture works in close alignment with operations to support performance at scale.
