Other memories include the ‘nimbu pani ‘ which was like a glass of nectar, helping us to survive those heat waves . There was a beautiful scenery: clouds kissing the mountains. Talking about the Ambaji temple , I memorise it to be like a dark place after being prone to the sunlight for hours, where the grabhagriha is the one which is lit. Talking about the architecture elements , what I remember the most , is just the staircase which seems never ending. Other elements include the huge gates on the way.

After playing around,we used to get ice creams and balloons which were like cherries on the top to mark the end of the day. After growing up a bit I got hooked onto books and again the same place came calling me back from childhood lanes, instead of the merrygo rounds, the grounds now held book fairs which were equally fascinating to me.

We didnt get to spend much time seeing it, but it was definately one of my best memories of the trip. The moment I saw it , the very first thought was that, how can someone make such a huge building. The main highlight for me was the huge dome. I kept asking my uncle how did they make it, and he kept coming up with stories which now seem funny. As it was my very first trip, all the places I visited were alll memorable but Gol Gumbaz was something that I remember even after 9 years

You see everyone helping each other during the trek and one can see a great amount of dedication in each and every person trying to reach the top. The building represents a sense of unity and belief to me. The Pop-Up model on the right shows the Gurudwara surrounded by snow-capped mountains and the lake below. The rough angles pieces represent the rough path one has to take to reach the top. The path also narrows as it moves upwards, signfying the importance of the Gurudwara.

Jaisalmer Fort Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

Pop-up by : Kashish S.

Description: As a child i thought that Rajasthan is just sand. As its called the desert my early imagination consisted of cactus and sand dunes. It was in 2012, when i visited Jaisalmer, as i child i thought it would be boring to visit a place made only of sand. But then i visited Jailsalmer Fort, and my thoughts about Rajasthan being a desert changed. I have never seen something so huge and gigantic. In this particular fort,as nearly one fourth of the old city’s population still resides within the fort. On arrival i could see rickshaws, taxis, exhibition of crafts and arts. We even saw puppet show and I dressed up in the traditional attire of Rajasthan.

Kalapaani Jail Andaman Description: This memory is from a recent trip to Andaman islands. The cellular jail, popularly known as kalapaani was considered the most dreaded prison for the freedom fighters at the time of british raj. When I got to visit the jail, the story or Kaatha was recited by an old neem tree which stood in the highly thoughtful and dark perspective of the jail. It saw every cumbersome trouble our very beloved freedom fighters went through, it sobbed their tears, its pride lies in their stories, their brave. The tree withstands holding so many stories, so many sorrows and so many braveries, never known to us. The attachment to that neem tree will always have a special place in my heart.

Kumbhalgarh Fort Kumbhalgarh, Rajasthan

Pop-up by : Yashvee N.

Description: I visited Kumbhalgarh fort for the first time with my friends on my best friend’s sixteenth birthday. It was our first trip together. A rainy day, and we were struggling to climb the fort. It got more windy as we reached up. There we saw a small tea stall with a shelter that could accomodate all four of us if we sat tightly. The hot cup of tea we had there in a cold evening with my friends was a memory I would never stop cherishing. It is an experience I would want to relive! The fort is protected by a layer of stone walls which we need to climb to reach to the top. I tried to show the same layer of walls to make the pop up card.

Lady Of Ransom Church Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu Description: Quite by chance we were in KanyaKumari in november and took a ride during the day. It was in the evening when we were drinking tea and having snacks at the sea shore restaurant, that we saw some beautiful lights at a distance. We were informed it was the church all lit up. I must admit, I have never been inside a church this huge. I have been to few small churches though and I have seen many from the outside. So, we took the time out to visit the church, enjoy the lights from outside and then visit it from inside too. I can’t compare as I think each architecture has its own sense and feel. The stautes of holy Mary and Jesus were beautiful and the night was special.

After a year of staying locked inside thehouse, this trip was a sigh of relief to see places and people again. This Maheshwar Ghat along with the Fort is along the banks of river Narmada (Rewa). I was lucky to get a boat ride at sunset time to see the Ghat from the other side. It was a feeling of breaking away from the troubles of the pandemic and worries it brought. The sounds of the Poojas in the evening with the bells and the clay lamps floating in the river present a view like none other. The Pop-Up model on the right shows a sketch I had made while I was on the boat a further away from the Ghat. The main element which made everything serene was the gentle flow of the river and the boat gliding on top.

Cuadra San Cristóbal, built by Barragán in 1968 for the Egerstrom family in Mexico City, is most famous for its courtyard, a design of sweeping geometric volumes in earth tones and pink hues. Now, the modernist ranch is playing host to contemporary artwork. He is a triumph of geometry, and displays the power of earthen tones, and the genius of simplicity. Cuadra San Cristobal has the ability to make the outdoors become intertwined with the indoors, not only through the use of glazing, but also through the interplay between light and shade, and the interaction between covered structures and uncovered space.

Falling Water Architect: Flank Llyod Wright Style: Modern architecture Fallingwater stands as one of Wright’s greatest masterpieces both for its dynamism and for its integration with its striking natural surroundings. Wright’s passion for Japanese architecture was strongly reflected in the design of Fallingwater, particularly in the importance of interpenetrating exterior and interior spaces and the strong emphasis placed on harmony between man and nature. The organically designed private residence was intended to be a nature retreat for its owners. The house is well-known for its connection to the site. It is built on top of an active waterfall that flows beneath the house.

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright Style: Using new building materials, simplicity and organic architecture About the building: The exterior of the Guggenheim Museum is a stacked white cylinder of reinfored concrete swirling towards the sky. The museum’s dramatic curves of the exterior, however, had an even more stunning effect on the interior Walking inside, a visitor’s first intake is a huge atrium, rising 92’ in height to an expansive glass dome. Along the sides of this atrium is a continuous ramp uncoiling upwards six stories for ass more than one-quarter of a mile, allowing for one floor to flow into another. The ramp also creates a procession in which a visitor experiences the art displayed along the walls as they climb upwards towards the sky.

Mountain Dwelling Architect: Bjarke Ingels Style: Modernism About the building: The Mountain Dwellings are the 2nd generation of the VM Houses - same client, same size and same street. The program, however, is 2/3 parking and 1/3 living. What if the parking area became the base upon which to place terraced housing - like a concrete hillside covered by a thin layer of housing, cascading from the 11th floor to the street edge? Rather than doing two separate buildings next to each other - a parking and a housing block - we decided to merge the two functions into a symbiotic relationship. The parking area needs to be connected to the street, and the homes require sunlight, fresh air and views, thus all apartments have roof gardens facing the sun, amazing views and parking on the 10th floor.

Vidhan Bhavan Architect: Charles Correa Style: Designs with local culture & tradition About the building: Vidhan Bhavan sits on the crest of the Arerà Hill, overlooking the capital city of Bhopal and its historic Muslim monuments. It reflects architect Charles Correa’s concern for humanist values in the seat of governmental authority. Rather than design a monument to political power, Correa organized the large government facility with a series of courtyards and pathways, which, while meeting the requirements of administrative and legislative functions, break down what could have been a monolithic whole into a series of urban spaces that welcome public participation.
