Democratising Institutions
LocationToronto, Canada
StudioAtik Bheda
On the SMVIT campus in Bangalore, Cadence Architects have shaped a library that dissolves the weight of institution into light, air and community. It is less a monument than a ground to gather, where courtyards, columns, and shaded paths blur inside and out. My photographs trace this gentleness, the way concrete breathes, circulation slows into pause, and knowledge rests in the openness. I sought to reveal a spirit where architecture embraces people and learning feels visible, shared and alive.
