"Civic infrastructure in India occupies prime real estate but rarely offers public access. Krushi Bhawan subverts this preoccupation by referencing Otto Königsberger's original vision for Bhubaneswar, with the Capitol complex being 'a lively point of public life'. The building bridges the gap between bureaucracy and the populace by incorporating ample community functions that instill a sense of collective ownership amongst ordinary citizens and farming communities."
Krushi Bhawan features in the UIA Guidebook for the 2030 Agenda, a resource produced by the International Union of Architects (UIA) that showcases how architecture can contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It highlights the intersection of architecture and the SDGs, demonstrating how built environments can address global challenges and promote sustainable development.
