Area : 6000 sq.m

The natural slope of the site is utilized to the advantage of amulti-level processing system.Milk receiving is done at the roof.

Processing is done at the second level.

The third and the lowest level accommodates worker

s

amenities.Walls and structure are more theatrical than technical in their

function of containing and supporting the process within.The equipment is framed in a 7 sq. m concrete grid.

On exterior the ventilation points areexpressedas large shaftsthat rise above the roof level.

They evacuate the hot air by natural convection eliminating the

need for a mechanical exhaust system.

Graphic banding of the exterior finish helps articulate themuscular feature of the building.The socialistic emphasis on office-worker amenities and

environmentally sensitiveworkspace remind of a Dutch architectHerman Hertzberger.

More exclusive functions such as private offices and meeting

rooms are grouped at the top of the building.The lager public spaces including the reception and other

departmental offices are at the lower floors.

The stark rectilinear concrete forms and

industrial profile of the plant announce that

it is a place for production.

OUR OPINION

Based on observations on his work. They appear to be built with a large amount of

thought having been given to making them

functionally efficient and practically feasible.

His buildings were always conceived with first

priority given to its functions, and the socialvalues when designing spaces.

They rejected symmetry.


25/26

Even the temple he designed, at the fag end ofhis career, for ISKON, has three shikharas- all

of which face different angles- very unlike any

other temple, which would have its shikhars

linearly arranged- emphasizing a direction.

The visible difference in his later works, as

compared to earlier ones, is that the structural

system is easily readable on the face of the

building, and the buildings clearly respond to

climate.

Conclusion

Kanvinde has mostly designed research andeducational areas.

He liked to reveal theinternalfunctions in a building(office block, walkway, auditorium ) as separate masses.

The quality of execution and finishes reflects his

attention todetailingand an experienced yet relatingattitude of design.

The lightness spoke of the primacy of idea over

matter, logic over circumstances, it was the theme that

never left his architecture
