INFOSYS CAMPUS, NAGPUR

This revolutionary workspace weaves Nagpur's famous oranges and the ‘seven swaras’ of Indian classical music into a compelling architectural expression, its gradient-finned facade and X-shaped form creating a dynamic corporate landmark that performs as brilliantly as it emerges

As sunlight inundates the Infosys Campus, the building's skin becomes a sight for sore eyes—its orange to deep earthy brown gradient fins catches the sun's rays in a chromatic performance that shifts throughout the day. This right here is architecture as a sensory experience, where the vibrant orange hues of Nagpur’s famous orchards and the mathematical precision of classical Indian music materialise in glass and concrete. The X-shaped plan, rotated precisely to the angle of the sun's movement across this latitude reveals itself as a calculated response. Sonali Rastogi & Manit Rastogi, founding partners of Morphogenesis, have engineered a workplace which is synonymous to a cultural instrument. The Infosys Campus resonates with regional identity while orchestrating light, space, and human movement with extraordinary accuracy. “The client brief was simple—to create a highly sustainable and iconic office building, deeply rooted in its regional context,” reveals Sonali.
