Design Challenge

Stone quarries have long shaped architectural history, offering materials formed over millions of years. The type of stone—granite, limestone, or marble—depends on the region’s geology, each born from unique natural processes like volcanic activity, sedimentation, or transformation under heat and pressure.

This year, in its 10th edition , The Drawing Board invites architecture students to explore these ideas through the lens of Sadahalli Quarry, Bengaluru. This edition challenges students to create a Museum of Geology within this dramatic, heritage-rich landscape — one that responds to the terrain, respects the absence, and reactivates the space with thoughtful architectural intervention.
