PROJECT: Exhibition Center, East Kidwai Nagar, New Delhi; ARCHITECTS: Sthapathi
The only premise missing from the recognition of Central Delhi’s East Kidwai Nagar as a Smart City was the obvious lack of an exhibition center. The Ministry of Urban Housing and Development roped in Sthapati to execute this institutional monument. East Kidwai Nagar emerged as a mixed-use smart city plan in Central Delhi in 2019 with the aim of lessening New Delhi’s chronic housing shortage. The Ministry of Urban Housing and Development has delegated the master planning, design, and implementation of this mixed-use smart city’s upcoming exhibition center to Sthapathi. Sthapathi’s vision includes designing sustainable solutions for a changing world that leaves a lasting impact on communities and the environment.
In order to maximize footfall and leverage sales volumes, the project has been strategically located on the main Ring Road in New Delhi, along the central axis close to AIIMS, which connects Delhi to major centers such as South Extension commercial center, NDMC precinct and the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
Indian summers are hot, but Delhi’s temperatures can soar unbearably during the season. Sthapathi executed the futuristic build’s intricate, latticed GRC Jali façade inspired by a character typical to Lutyen’s Delhi. Indirect light seeps into through the building’s veneer, shielding visitors from Delhi’s blazing summer sun, making mechanical ventilation a lesser imperative.
