Amongst one of Delhi’s exclusive yet chaotic neighborhoods, Arthshila stands unapologetically, making an unassuming and brave statement within its urban context. Conceptually, this four-floor structure is an intense interconnected volume of voids and solids, connecting the entire building as a large functional plate. Laced with huge volumes, it houses a cafe on the ground floor, services, and an auditorium in the basement. The distribution of open & semi-open art galleries and office spaces on the upper floors follows a deliberate layout that balances functionality and aesthetics. The terrace offers an expansive area for events and seminars. The design incorporates numerous provisions to accommodate various activities. The building can itself be considered an example of ‘exhibition’ of ‘space’ with its intent at its core. The carefully curated concept, combined with the architectural form, scale, materials, and elements, bestow upon the city of Delhi and its inhabitants an unparalleled cultural center.
