Delighted to share that the Regional Science Centre at Rajkot has bagged the prestigious MUSE Design Award (Gold category).
An ingenious integration of the built-form and landscape with the local context, along with well-defined programmatic objectives, is the USP of the design of RSC Rajkot. The stark and imposing aesthetic of its brutalist architecture, rooted in the fundamental principles of Hindu philosophy, embodies a striking paradox that simultaneously intrigues and captivates.
Evolving through multiple design stages, its form symbolizes the continuum of life, with a sacred central space (SHUNYA) representing the void of pure potential from which all creation emanates. Segmentation of the form created wedges, gracefully sloping up towards the heavens in a metaphorical embrace of infinity, an apt symbolism of ANANT, or the boundless.
