COURTYARD AND GARDENS
The India international centre is
conceived as design of interrelated
interior and shaded space courtyards and
gardens.
Each courtyard and garden at the IIC
has a difference function and aspect.
CONSTRUCTION
The construction methods and
procedures employed in the building
of the India international centre
were typical of the methods and
skill levels available in India at the
time of construction(1958-62).
The pre-casting of some of the
elements on the ground was
undertaken in order to ensure high
quality construction, both in terms
of structural integrity and finish.
The IIC is virtually a hand-made
building.
INDIA HABITAT CENTRE
INTRODUCTION
It is a complex of institutional and
office spaces , conferences and
library facility for groups involved
with environment and habitat issues
The concept of IHC is based on
environmental and regional planning
energy and its judicious use,
relevance of technology, transport
and communication, lifestyle social
and cultural linkage, fiscal policies,
legal and management system and
information technology
There are 5 main building
blocks
which are interconnected by
means of aerial walkways.
There is also a basement floor
for parking of around 1000
cars.
The external facade is in a
language of exposed red brick,
exposed concrete and glass.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN OF IHC
India habitat center is organized as a series of four to seven storey
blocks around linked, shaded courtyard
protected from both the excesses of tropical sunshine and motor
traffic of the adjacent heavily trafficked interaction
The centre groups a significant number of plots together, so that
requirements such as food service ,
Car parking and meeting facilities can be solved mutually
Building are grouped around climate
temperate courts
 shade by overhead sun screens and
enlivened by vertical gardens
The courts are elevated on plinth over a car parking so that a
series of pleasant civic spaces for pedestrians are created
 These spaces become semi enclosed atrium like areas suitable
for a variety of functions including exhibitions , displays and
conferences
BUILDING
It is on essentially urban site,
and conceived to be something of a
prototype with a relatively
conventional and repeatable type
of construction
a reinforced concrete frame with
an infill of concrete block and
brick cladding.
The attention to finishes is high
at the India habitat center,
BUILDING
 employs carefully conceived
paving patterns in the courtyards
variegated brick coursing in
buildings vertical pier which are
accented by tile facing to the rain
water channel, vertical garden
elements
the area below the extended
brow which caps the complex
ascending form.
