Rajaswa Bhavan Competition

A structural mobius envelope for the National Tax Headquarters, Delhi.

Role Junior Architect · Sameep Padora & Associates Year 2010 – 2011 Location New Delhi, India
Rajaswa Bhavan Competition
Intent

A national headquarters whose envelope behaves as a single, continuous gesture.

Approach

The Ministry of Finance brief proposed a Rajaswa Bhavan on a prominent Delhi site. The agenda: a structural mobius skin that enclosed the programme as one seamless surface. The challenge: fabricate the skin in metal for a scaled model — which was overlayed by dividing it into two parts and welded together manually, a diagrid mapped onto a digital model.

Outcome

A competition entry that turned the design problem into a fabrication problem — and answered both.
