Studio Rasa Kolkata

A temporary exhibition pavilion spanning 1,000 sq. ft. designed for ABID 2023, conceptualized around the architecture of touch, emotion, and cultural memory. Inspired by classical Sanskrit drama and the Kamasutra, the design maps spatial intimacy through entry, pause, reveal, and close interaction. Exquisite traditional details, including fine Pietra Dura stone inlays, a localized ceiling crafted from woven Bengal madur mats, and intricate jaali screens, are balanced alongside Ajanta-inspired murals and heavy carved pillars.
