3. Introduction :-
Jawahar Kala Kendra is an arts and crafts centre located in the city of Jaipur.
The centre is important not because of the nomenclature but its close association with
the city of Jaipur itself.
The centre was built in the year 1986 and the construction completed in 1991.
The place has an amazing interplay of light , shadow and colors, evoking emotions in the
user and invite him to move further.
The high walls with no fenestration in the façade makes the building enclosed and it does
not open up to the city.

4. One of the squares is pivoted to recall the original
city plan and also to create the entrance.
The plan of Jaipur city based on the nine square
Yantra in which one square is displaced and two
central squares combined.
The squares is defined by 8m high wall, symbolic of
the fortification wall along the Jaipur old city
The centre is an analogue of the original city pIan
of Jaipur drawn up by the Maharaja.
Correa's plan for the Kendra invokes directly the
original navagraha or nine house Randal.
Concept :-

5. Each square was linked to the planet as per the characteristics of the particular planet
and its astrological values and the functionality of the square.
This Navgrah concept with its energy values their favorable color, quality and the
favorable functionality to the each planet with square kept in mind while designing and
allocation of spaces.
Partly open courtyards and the traditional design elements of Rajasthan have been
incorporated in the complex.
The landscaping was also done as per planets
astrological values in the whole complex in each square
wherever was required

6. Explanation:-
The first planets enters is MANGAL which
Corresponds to Jupiter. Since this symbol
Symbolizes power it was decided to house the
Director and administrative offices here.
This planet becomes the entry point to whole
Complex – so along the walls of mangal
Mahal is an explanation of navgraha and on the
Ceiling is painted a jain cosmography depicting
All the rivers, mountains, animals and vegetation
Of manifest world around us.
Favorable colour
As and when the square was representing the planet ‘Jupiter’ the astrological value was
kept in consideration. The favorable color of this planet was lemon yellow so the square
was treated with yellow color in the external finishing and the water body was added in
the partially open area to make the environment more lively.

7. Play with light and shadow
The second most significant feature which was been adopted in this particular square
was the spectacular play with the light and the shadow. As the square was partially
open to sky and the particular side had the full height glazing in it the partial open
roof was treated with the architectural feature ‘ pergolas’.
The cut out was designed in such a way that the corridor will always remain in shade
and has the pond in corner which would reduce the effect of the harsh sun to the
library.
Use of local material
The spanning between beams was
designed and kept such that the local
material available like wooden bamboo
sticks could be used to complete the
entire space frame.

8. Madhyavarti i.e Open air theatre
The theatre was located and placed so well in
layout and planned that the rest of 8 square
were well connected to the central open theatre
and the best part of it were the stepped
platforms which could be used as seating areas.
The same were surrounded by the 8m high walls
and the design stepping was incorporated in
the corners of two walls to make them more interacted to each other.
The stepping and the walls were cladode with
red sandstone the locally available material
the theater was opening into the library ,
Vehicular entrance ,gallery and workshop as
shown

9. The external walls of the building are clad in red
Agra sandstone, topped by a coping of beige
dholpur sandstone.
On these external surfaces, the presence of each of
the planets is expressed by its traditional symbol
inlaid in white marble with polished black granite
and mica slate recalling the surfaces of
astronomical instruments at jantar mantar.

10. Tilam food court
The food court has been the excellent example
of the traditional rural architecture of
Rajasthan. The structure has been made in brick
masonry then later finished with the mud and
the roof has been framed in MS circular pipes
and then covered with fiber sheet both
framework in MS and fiber sheet have been
finished with the local putty to give it a rural
effect.
The art work on
walls, planning
and the sitting
arrangement on
floor ‘baithak‘ was
designed to set an
excellent example
of our rural and
cultural eithics in
India
Traditional art work
