A Landmark That Welcomes You
Every city deserves a first impression worth remembering. Here is our proposed design for the Islampur Gate, an entrance that gives Islampur, West Bengal, an architectural identity of its own.
The concept grows from a simple idea: the arch. Two intersecting arches in plan rise from the ground into a pointed arch in elevation. The form draws from Hindu temple, Mughal, Indo-Islamic and Indo-Saracenic architecture, which have all kept the same arch. Its curve brings the dynamism and warmth that straight-cornered entrances lack.
