ARCHITECTURAL AWARENESS

Students from Class 11 explored how Kolkata's architectural heritage serves as a "living archive" that allows diverse communities to unite and contribute to a shared cultural identity. The Victoria Memorial's Indo-Saracenic marble and the Indian Museum's classical pillars reflect a grand history of collective knowledge. Social hubs like the Saturday Club and CCFC use colonial verandas to foster community gatherings. From Prinsep Ghat's public retreat to the intellectual discourse of College Street, these landmarks—including Tangra's Chinese motifs and the Synagogue's interfaith legacy—encourage civic responsibility and preserve the city's multifaceted soul.
