The brief
The question behind the work.
Avleen's final design thesis,The Reclaimed Mahal, is an Indian culture centre in a derelict Victorian subway,that is inspired by her Indian heritage. The proposal is about sharing Indian culture with locals whilst addressing misconceptions. The centre will feature three key spaces; The Artisan’s Mandi (artisan market), Khaana Hub (a cafe), and Kala Studio (a workshop space) that have been designed with textile-inspired separations and modern materials to symbolize cultural exchange between Indian artisans and the local community. The Reclaimed Mahal revives the historical Crystal Palace Subway with Indian influences to reclaim a forgotten history whilst welcoming new stories with anyone interested in exploring Indian arts and culture.
