This studio project explores the reactivation of underutilized spaces across the IIT Bombay campus through a network of architectural interventions that foster social interaction. By identifying dead zones such as monotonous corridors, leftover courtyards and overlooked in-between spaces, the project reimagines them as vibrant nodes of community life. Through strategies of spatial modulation, sensory layering and programmatic infusion, the interventions transform circulation into experience and pause into opportunity. The narrative follows an alumna's return to campus, witnessing a revival of spontaneity, dialogue and human connection as an architectural response to the increasing isolation of campus life in the digital age.
