“Let the city bloom”

It is a cultural exchange facility built in front of Ota station in Gunma prefecture.

Ota City has a population of about 220,000 people, and the number of users of the station exceeds 10,000 people in a day. But few people walk in front of the station, shopping streets are quiet. To pioneer breakthroughs for such a situation prevailing throughout Japan, it is the purpose of construction to bring life back in front of Ota Station.

Therefore, for people to easy to walk though and stop by, we aimed for architecture that the town is continuing to the inside.

The Indian Heritage Centre in Little India, Singapore by ROBERT GREG SHAND ARCHITECTS

Friday, July 13th, 2018

Article source: ROBERT GREG SHAND ARCHITECTS

The Brief

The National Heritage Board wanted a sustainable contemporary building that would embrace the vibrant streetscape of the area and its people. Singapore’s first Indian Heritage Centre (IHC) would feature small-scale museum facilities as well as community and educational spaces.

The space requirement was for two large galleries for the permanent collection, a special gallery for changing exhibitions, and an activity space for smaller groups that could be closed off when in use, or opened up to complement the special exhibition gallery.

In terms of energy efficiency, the brief stipulated that while the environmental control requirements were to be strictly adhered to for the galleries (relative humidity and temperature), the building should achieve a minimum Green Mark GOLD rating.
