NOTABLE WORK

6. Belgian Embassy, New Delhi
FEATURES:multi dome
arches
brick
watershed
The embassy was one of
Satish Gujral's most
challenging assignments,
winning him national and
international awards. In 2000,
the building was recognised as
one of the 1000 best buildings
in the 19th century

7. Embassy buildings is
have four major units
are in all corners of the
semi triangular shaped
plot- the Ambassadors
Residence, the
Chancery, the
Counsel's’ residence
and the servant
quarters. “By placing
them in this way Satish
Gujaral created a
tension between the
buildings.

8. The Belgian Embassy is a
sculptural form, specially from
the outside. Moving inside is
like moving through sculptured
space.” Herein lies the problem.
“ Probably after having
conceived of the form, Gujral
didn’t want to compromise with
it and was therefore not able to
plan the openings, windows and
doors, “ he clarifies adding “
we architects feel that form of
the building should emerge
form the foundations and
function rather then vice
versa.”

9. The front facade consists of
two large cupolas with a
central fold above the
entrance.[4]
The entrance
opens into a courtyard with
stone masonry and greenery
within. The building is
constructed with red bricks.
The ubiquitous red brick
construction of the building
has been compared to early
architectural forms prevalent
in Mohenjo-daroand the
buddhist architecture in
Sanchi and Nalanda.
