Falling Lotus Blossoms: EON IT Park in Maharashtra, India by Form4 ArchitectureMay 20th, 2020 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Form4 Architecture Located in the seventh largest metropolis in India, Falling Lotus Blossoms: EON IT Park is an elegantly arranged quartet of buildings, totaling 4,000,000 square feet, that occupy a site located in the EON Free Zone, a Special Economic Zone established by the government to encourage development. This 21st‐century workplace, which sets a grand scale in counterpoint to the rugged Indian countryside, overlooks a river and the fields beyond on a flat site that was previously almost entirely untouched.

Ultimately, four “petals” were arranged like a four‐leaf clover in plan with an open space at its center. In part a response to the extreme heat and humidity and the goal of populating the outdoor spaces for more than just a few months of the year, the buildings themselves contain semi‐conditioned, shaded atrium spaces that serve as meeting or gathering areas for the building occupants. At dusk, each courtyard morphs into a giant kaleidoscope by the delineation of building elements with neon lighting. Raised on the ground plane, the complex picks up a teleological dimension in that it becomes a quasi‐temple devoted to the future of technology and its own iconography. As the eye follows the sweeping shape of the roof line, a vivid image of the fluid plane emerges. The building opens up and embraces the users of a new society. This iconic project, both in its construction phase and completion, exemplifies technology as a transformative force for the language of architecture in a fast‐growing country like India.
