Concept
The Centre of Excellence for Floriculture at Doraha, Punjab is planned to be established in sync with the Indo-Dutch agreement. It is aimed at to make the Punjab farmers aware of the latest technological and scientific advancements in cultivation of flowers. The Centre is planned on an agriculture farm of about 8 acres abutting Khanna-Ludhiana road. Since the main objective of the centre is to promote floriculture, maximum area has been kept for it. Out of about 8 acres 6 acres has been reserved for cultivation. Only 2 acres has been kept for necessary building infrastructure. The larger chunk of land is planned to be used for cultivation, both in the open and in polyhouses.
The mini complex of 2 acres has been carved out in one corner on the south-west side. This complex houses the necessary components of the Centre. These include an administrative-cum-guest house block, pack house, workshop, staff quarter, workers shed, guard room, display room etc. All the buildings except pack house and workshop will be constructed in conventional building materials like brick and concrete. The buildings are either single or double storied and are finished externally in cement plaster and uniform paint to give harmonious look. The pack house and workshop will be constructed in hi-tensile, pre-engineered steel structure popularly known as PEB or pre-engineered building. PEBs are most economical, fast to construct, more precise, easy to construct and very enduring. The entire complex is linked by a simple network of roads which extends up to the cultivated area.
Out of all the building components in the mini complex, the administrative block is the hub of all major activities. Designed to serve multifarious functions, it houses necessary administrative offices and a conference hall at ground level. A guest house wing, plant testing laboratory, and exhibition hall are accommodated at first floor level. All these wings are interlinked by spacious lobby which is designed as an atrium having partially double height. A rectangular porch gives the building an inviting entry. The double-storied administrative building is an innovative piece of modern architecture. It incorporates all the ingredients of modernity like unadorned bold and seamless facades, ingenious play of spaces, volumes, forms, solids and voids. The complex is a showcase of architect’s endeavour to bring modern architecture to the remote country side.
