Designing a Cultural Center is a challenge in itself since the infrastructure juggle between accomodating multiple programs, that include leisure, commercial, and performance, in order to provide an all-inclusive hub and welcoming spaces for the public.    

The Architecture language of each cultural center varies especially in the case of Indian scenarios where the vast amalgamations of various cultures come together. This Design Studio aims to create a holistic understanding of designing cultural centers keeping in mind the Indian context and its reflection in the design thinking process.
