Indira Gandhi International Airport

-



One of the prime infrastructural projects in New Delhi, the new TERMINAL 3 (T3) at the INDIRA GANDHI INTERNATIONAL (IGI) AIRPORT is designed with many unique landscape features. Odyssey was awarded the Hardscape and Water Features work for this iconic project.

HARDSCAPEThe Scope of Work under Hardscape included 858 Movable Planter Boxes, 750 RMT of Fixed Planters in Steel Grey Granite, a Landscape Deck and Planter Benches.The Movable Planter Boxes are completely self-sufficient and drip-free, equipped with a HDPE tray, Pond Liner and a slotted Galvanized Mild Steel (GMS) Framework. The GMS framework was clad with Steel Grey Granite, Sapphire Brown Granite and Tan Brown Granite. The slotted framework enabled flexibility with the height of the plants and planters placed inside the boxes by moving the HDPE trays up or down. The Pond Liner ensured that the water and mud does not drip out onto the floor. Each planter box weighs between 120 and 450 KGs and can be moved easily with the help of a forklift.

The Fixed Planters are low height plant enclosures with a Galvanized Steel Framework, clad with Sapphire Brown Granite and Steel Grey Granite.The landscape deck is the green area, with benches and large planters meant for relaxation in the middle of the airport. 

EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL WATER FEATURESThe External Water Features include five water bodies at the rotaries along the landscaped areas of the terminal, using 150 tonnes of Steel Grey Granite. These step fountains are made of 80, 100 and 150 mm thick pre-cut, polished, grooved, tapered and numbered solid pieces of granite processed at the Odyssey unit in Ongole. The water cascade at the arrival lounge is the sole Internal Water Feature, made as a combination of Raw Silk Ivory, Lavender Blue and Steel Grey Granite. The pieces are grooved and cut using a combination of CNC and Water-Jet machines.

The NDA government is set shift Architecture education from Human Resources Development (HRD) Ministry’s purview to the Urban Development Ministry. HRD Ministry had already opposed the proposal in a meeting held at the Cabinet Secretariat last month. The move was communicated by the Cabinet Secretary’s office to the two ministries. The change will be formally notified through an amendment to the Allocation of Business Rules 1961, which enlists responsibilities of each ministry under the Union government. The Architects Act, 1972 under the Department Of Higher Education in the AOB rules will be deleted through a gazette notification, sources said. This law provides for registration of architects, maintaining standards of architectural education, recognition of qualifications and standards of practice to be complied with by practising architects. With the transfer of the Architects Act, HRD Ministry will no longer be in-charge of regulating architectural education through the Coun...

Centre Georges Pompidou Built in Paris between 1971 and 1977, the Pompidou Center is the proud home to a public library, the largest modern art museum in Europe (the Musée National d’Art Moderne), and a top-of-the-league music and acoustics study center. Piano built the structure as an over-the-top ode to high-tech architecture in which he strives to reveal a building’s inner workings and technological marvels that typically remain hidden beneath its surface. Parco della Musica Considered one of the most-visited music facilities in the world, Rome’s Parco della Musica was designed by Piano on the same grounds of the 1960 Summer Olympic Games. The facilities comprise three massive dome-like structures that hold three separate concert halls. One unique note about the construction: in forging new ground, Piano and co found remains of the old. The construction process unearthed an ancient Italian villa that Renzo Piano decided to include in his designs. The Shar...
