VIKAS
BHAVAN, ZIRA, PUNJAB
Architect:
Sarbjit Singh Bahga, Chandigarh



             The three-storied, compact
building is designed on a pattern of "Swastika"-an
ancient symbol of good fortune. The bold and dynamic form of the building
represents the strong character of the agrarian state of Punjab,
in general, and that of a typical Punjabi farmer, in particular.

Keeping
in view the ground realities vis-à-vis the rustic lifestyle of the users,
system of subletting of space and subsequent maintenance, the building is
designed on a strict regimen of design controls. This is contrary to the
prevailing norms of flexibility and open-plan system, which are alien to the
rural or semi-urban India.

           Conscious efforts have been made to protect
the interiors from the harshness of summers. The building-form, with its four
extended wings, ensures sufficient mutual shading for most part of the day, and
thus remains cool by itself. The deeply-recessed windows and built-in cupboards
along the external walls further help in keeping off the summer heat. Besides,
a thoughtful placement of fenestrations ensures sufficient cross-ventilation.
The slanting roofs not only help on draining off the storm water easily but
also add to the grandeur of the architectural expression.
