Swabhumi Hotel and Cultural Complex is a cultural center located outside Kolkata, the fabled "city of joy," that seeks to embody the socio-cultural aspirations, historical background and ambience of the place. A pluralistic and non-deterministic morphological formation emerged from the design charettes that stressed on the process rather than a strict parti. From here, a vision was conceived of an organic street, naturally ventilated and self shaded, typical of the Indian urban and rural fabric.
