UNStudio has designed one of Bangalore’s most exciting upcoming projects — Karle Town Centre (KTC). The Karle Infra, with its properties in Mysore, Bangalore, and Goa, is now focusing on their new premium township in North Bangalore. According to the website of UNStudio, “Within the thriving Tech Hub of Bangalore, UNStudio has designed the new Karle Town Centre (KTC), while UNSense — the arch tech company founded by UNStudio — is collaborating with Karle Infra to curate the use of sensorial technologies throughout the masterplan.”The architecture company’s website informs that KTC is a development that aims to define Bangalore locally and inspire the whole of India to “lead by example” when designing future urban destinations. Karle Town Centre, which is currently under construction, enjoys a direct connection to the city’s ring road arterial and expanding metro lines. It is positioned prominently next to the established Manyata Tech Park with scenic views over Nagavara Lake and is designed to act as a natural magnet for people and activities in the urban panorama.”The website further mentions the thought that has been put to include the various cultural and urban designs into the project. The website states, “India is one of the most diverse yet distinct cultural regions in the world, and as such, the KTC masterplan understands the importance of capturing the country’s broader identity. The inclusion of a grand theater, event square plazas, elevated retail stages, amphitheater-style staircases creates a multitude of smaller and larger meeting points…The design of the urban plan reflects an open and inviting campus.”Adding to their plans for the Silicon Valley’s garden-laden KTC, the website also mentions, “The masterplan is highly permeable for both pedestrians and vehicles… By connecting multiple destinations together in a green and shaded environment with limited vehicular traffic, the masterplan encourages pedestrian movement.”“According to economists, Bangalore — with its moniker as the Silicon Valley of India, due to a large number of information technology companies based in the city — finds itself at the epicenter of this rapid growth,” states UNStudio’s website.UNStudio’s plan for the center also includes rebuilding Bangalore’s historic reputation of being a “Garden City.” The company’s website states, “UNStudio’s design maximizes passive design techniques, capitalizing on natural daylight and prevailing wind direction. The vegetative integration strategy of KTC controls heat gain through thermal buffering, reduces unwanted wind, and filters Bangalore’s air from fine particles that have been lifted from the soil.” https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
