D for Dome: As an enduring element in architecture, the dome has existed ever since 100 BC, sheltering empires, framing skylines, and travelling from classical feats like the Pantheon to present-day landmarks. Many made iterations to the dome, reinforcing their prowess in sciography, engineering, and power. Dome is a form that never really left.

C for Charles Correa: One of India’s most influential architects, Correa mastered the fusion of Modernist principles and climate-responsive designs. His 32-storey Kanchanjunga Apartments in Mumbai exemplify this approach, with deep cantilevered terraces that support high-rise living in a tropical environment. Across architecture and urban planning, Correa significantly shaped how India engages with its built environment.

B for Bauhaus: Pioneered in 1919 at Weimar, Bauhaus revolutionized design by fusing art, craft, and technology. Its influence spanned architecture (Gropius’ glass masterpieces), typography (clean sans-serifs like Futura), and furniture—exemplified by Marcel Breuer’s 1926 cantilever chair, with its innovative bent tubular steel frame for weightless support. Form follows function, eternally.

A for Art Deco: Born in 1920s Paris at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, it translated modernity into architecture through symmetry, streamlined forms, and geometric ornamentation. In India, beyond Mumbai’s iconic stretch, Art Deco also shaped pockets of Kolkata - visible in cinema halls, residential facades, and institutional buildings that adapted Deco to a more restrained, urban fabric.
