The Jawahar Kala Kendra in Jaipur, India is a cultural center designed by architect Charles Correa in the 1980s-1990s. Inspired by Jaipur's original city plan of nine blocks representing the nine planets, Correa designed the center as nine square blocks, with each block representing and housing a different cultural function - including administration, art galleries, workshops, auditorium, and more. By invoking the cosmic symbolism of Jaipur's original design and using local materials, Correa created a center that preserves Rajasthani art and culture in a way that reflects the traditions and history of the city.
Museum Case Studies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum
A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary.[1] Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. Museums have varying aims, ranging from serving researchers and specialists to serving the general public. The continuing acceleration in the digitization of information, combined with the increasing capacity of digital information storage, is causing the traditional model of museums (i.e. as static "collections of collections" of three-dimensional specimens and artifacts) to expand to include virtual exhibits and high-resolution images of their collections for perusal, study, and exploration from any place with Internet.[citation needed] The city with the largest number of museums is Mexico City with over 128 museums. According to The World Museum Community, there are more than 55,000 museums in 202 countries.[2]
Bharat Bhavan is an autonomous multi-arts complex and museum in Bhopal, India, established and funded by the Government of Madhya Pradesh. The architect of Bhavan is Charles Correa.
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.
Architecture can be traced in history since the beginning of civilization. It is an ancient discipline
and the results of its thinking and endeavor provide us with some of the most lasting examples of
our culture. Our monuments, cities, and village speak of our culture over the longest span of
time. Yet, the representation of architecture and its role in our society has not flowered. To
bridge this gap in understating between the profession and society, a National Museum of
Architecture is needed. The designed museum should provide spatial variety and inspire a sense
of visual excitement, thus contributing to the overall concept of entertainment and learning.

he city is unusual among pre-modern Indian cities in the regularity of its streets, and the division of the city into six sectors by broad streets 34 m (111 ft) wide. The urban quarters are further divided by networks of gridded streets. Five quarters wrap around the east, south, and west sides of a central palace quarter, with a sixth quarter immediately to the east. The Palace quarter encloses the Hawa Mahal palace complex, formal gardens, and a small lake. Nahargarh Fort, which was the residence of the King Sawai Jai Singh II, crowns the hill in the northwest corner of the old city. The observatory, Jantar Mantar, is one of the World Heritage Sites.[4] Included on the Golden Triangle tourist circuit, along with Delhi and Agra, Jaipur is an extremely popular tourist destination in Rajasthan and India. made by me --------------

WHAT IS CULTURE?
• Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found
in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities
and habits of the individuals in these groups.
• Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization,
which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies.
• The cultural center is often a meeting point in small communities where people come
together to preserve traditions and develop cultural activities that include the participation
of the whole family.
• As a general rule, the activities of the cultural centers are free or very affordable, so that
nobody be dismissed for economic reasons. The property of cultural centers is usually
State or cooperative, because it generally non-profit institutions.

• It was founded on 18 November 1727 by
Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II the ruler of
Amber, after whom the city has been named
and the architect of the city was Vidhyadhar
Bhattacharya.
• The city of Jaipur was not meant to be a fort-
town, or a military base, but a centre for
commerce and trading. The new capital
was meticulously planned, keeping in mind
the traditional treatise on architecture, the
Vastu Shastra.
Palace

Hilly
area
• The city was planned in 9 blocks which
signifies the nine planets and these blocks
follows the grid pattern with roads linking
the whole city.
• Although the 9th block at the north western
part was inhabitable because of the
presence of steep hills hence that part was
shifted to south eastern area forming an
asymmetrical pattern.
5. Layout Plan
04
• Following the directions of the Hindu
Shilpa shastra, width of the main streets
& other lanes were fixed. Thus the main
streets of the city were 111ft. wide,
secondary streets 55 ft. wide & the
smaller ones 27ft. wide. 111 is a holy
number in Hinduism and hence
considered lucky also.
• The directions of each street and market
are East to West and North to South.
• The commercial shops were designed in
Jaipur in the multiples of nine (27),
having one cross street for a planet.
"Nine" signifies the nine planets of the
ancient astrological zodiac, and twenty-
seven signifies the 27 nakshatras.

embraces buildings like Palaces, Havelis and ornamented temples.
• Jaipur has several temples, often built as havelis, with central courtyards, and living or
administrative spaces in the style of a marble-clad Rajput pavilion with wide scalloped
arches, surrounded by gardens and fountains, and decorated with stucco carvings and wall
paintings, thus making the temple a residential palace for the deity.

16. Concept
14
Charles Correa’s plan for the ‘Jawahar Kala Kendra’ invokes directly the original
navagraha’ or nine house mandala. His ideology was to invoke the underlying construct
of the cosmos they are meant to represent.
In the museum, Correa’s direct imitation of the Jaipur city is evident in the displacing of
one of its square from the nine square construct to create a main entrance. Hence on a
closer examination one could suggest that Correa used the nine square Mandala not
only as a structuring device but also to consciously invoke the symbolism of traditional
city.
The astrological symbol of each planet is directly expressed in a cut-out opening along
its external wall.
THE NAVGRAH CONCEPT
The ideology behind this
cultural centre is quite
fascinating as the architect
chose the Jaipur’s city plan
to be constructed as a
centre for preserving the
city’s rich art and culture.
18. Conceptual Features
16
Each of the squares is defined by 8-metre-
high walls. The building programme has
been “disaggregated” into eight separate
groupings corresponding to the symbol/color
represented by that particular planet.
The materials used have been carefully
picked which can related and reflect to the
nature of the space. The use of local yellow
sandstone, red sandstone, lime, red-rubble,
marble, terracotta and other materials, narrow
passage ways and wide courtyards, frequent
openings with connecting vistas, the imitation
of step wells in the courtyard and through
many other small details.

Merits:
1. Proper light and ventilation by
introducing courtyard which also
enhance the aesthetics of the space
Demerits:
1. Public and private areas were not
being separated so the crowd will
sometime trespass the prohibited
areas like the projector room.
2. No provision for VIP entrance in the
Auditorium is given.
3. the backstage passage should be
hidden as it is only being used for the
services.
