GANDHI BHAWAN It’s distinctive position as a white lotus against the red sandstone structures of the Panjab campus is a metaphorical representation of Gandhi’s teachings, and stands out amidst the more traditional academic and administrative structures of the university. It is as iconic as it seems. A shame that the pool of water was not present at the time of visiting, however it allowed me to capture the building’s details with my eyes more than a zoom of the camera. Despite its individual characteristic, I find that the Fine Arts Museum opposite, shares a facade similar to Gandhi Bhawan. Two sets of large panels sitting atop, or sandwiched between a set of long horizontal panels. Perhaps, Gandhi Bhawan fits in well on Panjab campus, and the two structures and their contrasting hues and material, highlight the nuanced interplay between tradition and modernity. BOYS’ HOSTEL One of the Boys’ Hostel visited was an observation of one room on the ground level, where a lattice brickwork was displayed. However, some of the holes of the brickwork were filled with two stacks of bricks. Perhaps, the natural ventilation operates well, but privacy was sought after. I did also love the short coloured stone walls at the entrance to the dorms. STUDENT CENTRE My first instance of seeing a concrete ramp circle up a concrete building, its facade often placed with pivotal louvered windows for natural ventilation, while a hand runs along the thick concrete railing held up by frequent thin metal poles. Though I’ve only had the opportunity to enter its top floor cafe, the Student Centre appears much better from the outside. Its bathroom is terrible, and the lighting was weak inside the cafe. I did adore the view of the social hub below the building, and the maintained shrubs along the footpaths.

It is a best ever university in India 🇮🇳, it is known not only for its well planned infrastructural design of buildings and quality of education but also for its lifestyle and day to day life, which particular can be witnessed at Students Centre- a round shaped circular building housing various shops, eatery stalls for students… There are many shops and eating points here at Student centre, I always love to eat and have cup of coffee or tea here. One can have meal, fast foods like grilled sandwiches 🥪, burgers 🍔, pasta 🍝, spring roll, momos, salad 🥗, juice 🥤, shakes, snacks and many other eatable items at affordable price. I also used to have pasta and coffee ☕️… love this place
