Architecture + Design India

This is where architecture, mixology, and chocolate converge to create something entirely new—MELT, a space that truly embodies its name by melting away preconceptions about what a cocktail bar can be! Conceptualised by Pantone Collective Design Studio, this 10,000 sq ft space is set to become a landmark in Noida’s hospitality scene. The interior narrative continues with upside-down arches that defy conventional architecture, while embossed abstract artworks reminiscent of melting chocolate cascade across columns and ceilings.

#aplusdupdates As cities continue to evolve, we’re faced with a crucial question: what happens when the urban environments we’ve created can no longer sustain us? How do today’s architectural marvels fare in a world marked by environmental decline? Are we designing spaces capable of adapting to tomorrow’s challenges, or are we shaping structures destined for obsolescence?⁠ ⁠ In his latest collection, The Pale Blue Dot, Rahul Mishra Official, the celebrated Indian designer known for his sustainable approach to fashion, reflects on the future of cities and the built environment. Inspired by Carl Sagan’s iconic essay, Mishra contemplates the fragility of human existence and the unsustainable nature of urban life in an increasingly fragile world. While rooted in fashion, his work speaks to the larger issues of architecture, urban planning and our relationship with the spaces we create. What happens to our cities if they become uninhabitable? Can we redesign them to coexist sustainably with nature? ⁠ ⁠ Read the full story here- https://shorturl.at/45XNJ ⁠ Photography by Valerio Mezzanotti Nowfashion.com Text by KRUPAKSHI MEHTA ⁠ #aplusd #architectureplusdesign #newsupdates #fashionarchitecture #rahulmishra #hautecoutureweek #thepalebluedot #sustainability #pariscoutureweek #athumanpace #rahulmishracouture #ethicalsustainability #architecture #citylife #carlsagan #environmentalissues
