- 22. Open stone jalis or perforated screens, combine with large expanses of glass in a way that respected both traditional knowledge and modernist principles.
- 23. "Two things have essentially guided my work. One is what you might call an interest in and search for an appropriate modern regionalism. I would put equal emphasis on both words, 'regional' and 'modern', because regional without modern is reactionary, and modern without regional is insensitive, inappropriate. The second one is to seek the character of the solution in the nature of the problem, as much as one possibly can."
Editor's Notes
- 4 storey classroom block with a canteen and shaded dining terrace to the north.Ground floor gallery block with a shaded roof terrace to the West.
- Jali panels were assembled from small pre-cast concrete units. Filter light into the corridors.
- The main complex of the Centre is laid out with three wings, on the north, south and west, each designed to serve a separate function. While cultural programmes are open to the interested public in the south wing, the Centre offers residential facilities to members and their guests in the north wing. The Lounge, Dining hall, Private Dining Hall and Terrace Pergola are located on the west side, overlooking the Lodi gardens. Most residential rooms at the main complex open directly to the lawns or the Lily Pond on the ground floor, and are provided with private verandas on the first and second floors.
- Jaali like the ones used in Lodi gardens : TughlaqBlue ceramic tile : islamic influence
- Facing the Lodi Garden and IIC grounds, with the wind flowing in this direction.
- On the exterior walls of the dining room.
- 1970
- on an area of 9 acres
- There are 5 main building blocks which are interconnected by means of aerial walkways serving the various functional spaces.The convention block is divided into two built structures, an auditorium and a convention centre that helps in better handling of the crowd.The complex can be accessed through three sides with the Lodhi Road to the northern side. Basement floor for parking of about 1000 cars.
- The tall exposed brick building masses are oriented so as to create a large open space in the centre.The courtyard is so comfortable is because of its scale. It is monumental. The tall building masses enclosing the large space in the centre are completed by the huge trees. There are plants along the base of the large trees scaled to the human height, which help in breaking down the scale. The edge of the planters doubles up as seating spaces for the people. ( refer slide)Light & shadow play on the textured surface of the building, creating beautiful patterns which change along with the time of the day.
