INTRODUCTION

Pataliputra is the name of the ancient city that is today’s Patna. Pataliputra was the capital of
the first unified Indian kingdom and the great Magadhan Empire. The new Pataliputra
Museum will focus on the contributions from this area to the evolution of the history and
civilization of the Indian Subcontinent. The collections to be displayed in the new museum
include many great and important stone, bronze and terra-cotta sculptures and artefacts that
tell the stories of ancient Pataliputra and the lasting impact these cultures have had on the
region, India and the World. Stories of the Buddha, Mahavir, Ashoka and other great
political, literary and scientific world leaders from this period will be told in the new
museum.
The Department of Art, Culture and Youth (DACY) along with the Building Construction
Department (BCD) of the Government of the State of Bihar is planning to develop an iconic
museum in Patna, which stands on the site of the capital of India’s ancient Magadhan Empire,
Pataliputra. This new facility, the Bihar Museum, will focus on the contributions made by this
empire and the entire region of Bihar to the evolution of history and civilization in the Indian
subcontinent and throughout Asia. It will be developed on a 13.2 acre site located on Bailey
Road in Patna. Six spacious government bungalows, housing a university and a church
among others, spread over 13.2 acres would be demolished to build the museum.

AIM – To showcase the conserved relics and the remains of Patliputra which would show
magnificent contribution of Bihar to the evolution of Indian subcontinent.

archaeological objects. It would be my pleasure to design such an building which will have an
historical importance.

Lucknow Industrial Development Authority (LIDA) has been established by Government of

Uttar Pradesh under the provisions of .Uttar Pradesh Industrial Development Act-1976., with
an objective to accelerate the rate of industrial development in the State by providing
enabling infrastructure in the area notified under this Authority which lies between the
districts of Lucknow and Unnao. As a part of this endeavour to promote industrial
development, LIDA gas decided to promote an Information Technology Park (the Project)
adjacent to Lucknow - Kanpur National Highway No 25 on the Bijnaur Road is spread on an
area of approx. 1,30,000 sq. mt..
The site is about 14 km from the Lucknow International Airport and about 25 km from
Lucknow Railway station. Lucknow International Airport is well connected by air with Delhi,
Mumbai and Hyderabad. Several International flights to Sharjah, Dubai, Muscat and Doha
are operated from here. Lucknow has Indian Institute of Management, King George Medical
College, Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute, Ram Manohar Lohia Post Graduate Institute
of Medical Science, Central Drug Research Institute, etc. Lucknow also houses more than 80
IT/ITes units which are engaged in the development of software and export. Software
Technology Park (STPI) is also established here to provide administrative support and
incubation facility. Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur and more than 20 engineering and
management institutes are established in Lucknow to support the need for requisite trained
man power.

AIM –
 The aim is to create an architectural vocabulary which can reflect the multifarious
characters and provide an integrated space in which the built and landscaped area
would be seen as the single entity with appropriate and Conducive environment.
 The project also aims at an effort to create an office environment that does not abuse
the urban space wherein an Office space in urban setup is rendered into on
absolutely introvert space in terms of social interaction within a community of the
workers.

Why the topic is being selected..?

Every man needs a special environment that imparts tranquillity to the spirit and stimulant to
mind. India has earned itself a reputation of an IT superpower. Software Technology Parks of
India has played a seminal role in accomplishing this status. Today, STPIs across over the
country are synonymous with excellent Infrastructure and Statutory support aimed at
