About Tanuj

Tanuj Karkra (Location- Fatehpur Sikri, Agra)

Hi, Thank you for stopping by.

Tanuj Karkra, a current Undergraduate Architecture student from India, introduces himself. This is a blog where I discuss my interests and my thoughts on topics that I encounter on a daily basis. As a student, I enjoy discovering new domains related to my field of study. This blog is an extension of that investigations. Architectural Design, Urban Design, Urban Development, Urban Housing, Philosophy, Psychology & Photography are some of the topics that I am interested in.

I believe architecture is a multidisciplinary field that is growing and evolving as you read this blog. To understand the world around me, I believe in three things: observation, perception, and implementation. I am not perfect, but I am here to learn. I am interested in learning and experiencing new things.

I enjoy educating people about new things I've discovered, which is why I began this blog. This document vividly describes my experiences experimenting and learning as an Architecture student.

The Architecture of Squid Game

By
Abstract Squid Game has gained wide attention. Netflix's hit series tells a story of desperate people who are lured into playing deadly games in exchange for 45,600,000,000 won (approximately Rs.2,88,97,97,930) and it has been engrossing viewers for several weeks. And apart from its twisted plot and compelling cast of characters, another aspect of Squid Game has gotten people talking: the surreal architecture featured throughout the show is highly memorable, and plays an important role in making viewers feel as terrified as the contestants. Squid Game demonstrates how architecture can be used to evoke a wide range of emotions, from nostalgia and joy to unease and terror.  In this article, I'll provide examples of how the spaces depicted in the series have a profound psychological impact on the participants and viewers of the show.

Walled City of Amritsar- Urban Development Over Time

By
Abstract Cities exist in both time and space. Their shape and appearance are influenced by their past history, current function, and, to some extent, projected future development. Every city bears evidence of its growth and history on its face to some extent. The Indian traditional city has undergone a slew of evolutionary changes, upheavals, and disruptions as a result of being subjected to extreme variations in sociopolitical, cultural, and economic conditions throughout history. It can be seen that ancient cities had a stable urban form that preserved the city's functions until the 19th century. With the advent of the industrial age, the overall stability of urban form in old cities began to wane. From this point forward, Indian traditional cities were subjected to a new type of development, one that was different in size, scale, and momentum, upsetting the critical equilibrium of the city organism. As a result, the traditional Indian city became a discontinuous and fragmented s...

Bringing Cinema and Architecture Together

By
 Abstract The history of architecture is more than just documenting Architects' achievements and the evolution of building styles and construction. It is also a history of architectural imagery and representation in other areas of art and popular culture. The representation of architectural intentions and ideas, which is important in establishing dialogues during the design process, is critical because it influences the design's outcomes. The unique asset (or constraint) of architecture is that the means by which it materializes its concepts are also the means by which it expresses itself visually and socially. To convey human experiences, we must look beyond architecture, because experiences are triggered by a variety of factors other than architecture.  Cinema is another medium that uses similar parameters of Space , Movement, and Time to express its narrative. To evoke emotions in viewers, cinematic narratives are effectively translated using architectural spati...
