Language and Structure

Part 1: Drawings

Prasanta Ghosh

Kolkata, India

This project is based on a structural installation denoting the impact of urban architecture and its relationship to the public and ecology. The architectural forms depicted make up the majority of urban development and explore how the visuals of everyday life impact us. The urban landscape is related to
a diversity of elements relevant to humankind including class variation, language applications, and the interchange of the masses to various spaces over time. The drawings are abridged forms of
architectural development within a progressive society, where the intimation of all
aspects of language, culture, and caste seems to play around.
