The Zydus Corporate Park located on the outskirts of Ahmedabad has an extremely hot and arid climate (max. 120°F). The client brief stipulated creating an office that is “Better than Home.” Therefore, the approach was to create a bespoke design that expresses the rich architectural heritage and traditional crafts of the region.
The architectural expectation was of being globally and locally relevant. The three large rampart-like walls form the western façade and shield the project from the harsh temperatures of the highway (145°F). This helps in maintaining a comfortable environment in the courts located in the East by a reduction of 5 - 6⁰C in Perceptible Temperatures. These doubly curved steel surfaces scale up the tradition of metalwork of the ‘Kansaras’ (vessel makers) that have complex geometries, using computational programming. The triangulated glass modules within the Corten steel walls are inspired by the mirrorwork on ‘Bhunga,’ Kutch structures that are architectural ornamentation and identity elements. These glass tubes have a dichroic finish that catches the sun’s movement throughout the day & year, rendering the façade with perpetual dynamism.
