In an era where societal interaction and communal existence are cherished, the need for innovative design becomes paramount. Redefining the use of public spaces and extending them into an urban interior realm, the East Kidwai Nagar Exhibition Centre takes centre stage. Since the surrounding urban fabric is a very dense settlement, the three-storey structure’s surreal elevation design elevates the building. The novel design ensures porosity and a visual connection across the two sides of The Exhibition Centre, making it a sure-shot conversation starter in the gentrifying neighbourhood.

Despite its airy appearance, the site plan was initially very restrictive regarding boundaries. Thus, the architectural intent has been not to make The Exhibition Centre’s guests feel claustrophobic. The end-to-end large column-free spaces ensure just that whilst adding spatial depth to the compact space. The meticulous planning approach extends to the ground floor entrance lobbies, featuring transparent glass walls to enhance visibility and porosity. The ingenious use of screened fenestrations allows soft patterns of light and shadow on the floor throughout the day. It provides a captivating view of the bustling ring road, seamlessly connecting the interior with the external urban fabric.

The project’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its prefabricated construction, significantly reducing on-site pollution and waste generation. The use of vibrant shades on exposed steel structures inside the exhibition space celebrates the building’s structure and contributes to a vibrant, cheerful atmosphere that stimulates community interactions.
