Bharat Diamond Bourse-Phase 2
Our firm won an invited competition and the potential commission to expand the facilities at the Bharat Diamond Bourse. Our design metaphorically completes previously formulated theoretical precepts. By re-inventing the residual space of the facility, our proposal creates column free glazed rectangular volumes that result in a courtyard yet provide a sense of openness; thus generating self-sustaining structures akin to jewels on the ‘fingers’ alluded to in the existing design. Hanging gardens created every five floors permit occupants to utilize green spaces locally and aerially, reminiscent of a vernacular ‘wadi’ setting.
