Architecture Asia Special Issue - ARCASIA Awards for Architecture 2020

JURY CITATION
The building's façade greatly impressed the jury with its traditional symbolic pattern
and how bricks were arranged. It is an example of indigenous architectural
aesthetics. This building, built to cultivate the abilities of agriculture and farmers
in Odisha, India, created a perfection that cannot be easily seen by mixing
very beautiful colors and materials made by maximizing the sense of design and
indigenous materials of the region. Moreover, the courtyards and public plazas
on the ground floor provide a continuously flowing public space that connects
the building's interior and exterior surroundings, making it a humble and open
space for citizens. Although the internal functional space is less impressive, the
jury decided to award the Gold Winner to this project.
