Program/Brief
Design and development of a 3.1-hectare site in Bhopal as an IT Park for approximately 4,200 employees, bringing together small, medium, and large-scale technology companies within one shared campus.
The proposal moves away from the isolated office-block model, imagining the workplace as an urban campus where built form, landscape, movement, recreation, and informal interaction operate together.

Project Overview
Project Overview
The IT Park is conceived as a new workplace landscape for Bhopal — a campus that marks the city’s transition toward a growing information-technology economy while resisting the monotony of conventional office development.
Rather than imposing a standardised corporate grid, the project works with the existing contours of the site. Buildings, open spaces, pedestrian routes, and recreational zones are arranged through the terrain, creating a campus where work and pause, movement and gathering, formal offices and informal exchange become part of one spatial system.
This is strong enough to use. Then the next section, Campus Spine, can continue from this by explaining the first sketch idea and how the central movement axis organises the campus.

A 200-unit residential project exploring communal living through layered courtyards and spatial transitions. The design creates a gradient from public to private, using threshold spaces and material shifts to define territories

Topographic Assembly
Topographic Assembly
The animated sequence explains how the campus is assembled as a stepped sectional system rather than a single imposed mass. Each level is placed in response to the existing topography, allowing the built form to settle into the slope while preserving open ground, landscape pockets, and pedestrian continuity.
As the volume rises, flexible office blocks are arranged and rearranged across the terrain. The setbacks generated through this stacking logic become terraces, bringing light, outdoor spill-out spaces, and a gradual dialogue between building and landscape.

The campus is imagined as a workplace embedded within the landscape rather than placed above it. Built volumes follow the contours of the site, while roofs, terraces, courtyards, and pedestrian paths extend the ground into the architecture.
Work and recreation are deliberately interwoven: offices overlook gardens, terraces become meeting zones, and movement through the campus produces moments of pause, encounter, and visual connection.

The section cut reveals the campus as a layered workplace system, where offices, shared zones, and recreational spaces overlap within the larger terrain.
The exposed floor plates show flexible work environments held against a monumental rammed-earth wall, while the lifted structure allows landscape and movement to continue below. The circular opening becomes a threshold between inside and outside, building and ground, work and landscape.

Visual Connectomes
The early sketches define the project through a series of visual connectomes — long rammed-earth walls that cut through the campus, frame movement, and bind separate workspaces into one spatial field.
These walls are not only circulation devices. They act as visual anchors, thresholds, and memory structures, guiding the user between offices, recreational niches, courtyards, bridges, and landscape levels.
The campus therefore begins as a perceptual system: a sequence of light and shadow, silence and activity, work and pause, where movement through the site becomes part of the architectural experience.

Landscape as Layout
Landscape as Layout
The plans describe the campus as a landscape-led workplace system rather than a conventional office grid.
At ground level, entry, parking, exhibition, convention, and public functions are absorbed into a porous landscaped base. Built volumes are placed as fragments, allowing courtyards, green pockets, pedestrian routes, and visual corridors to pass through the site.
On the upper levels, flexible office areas, meeting spaces, services, and shared zones are organised along the central rammed-earth spine. Voids, terraces, and overlooking spaces break the scale of the campus, creating a continuous dialogue between work, recreation, movement, and landscape.
