Located in Rajasthan, India, amidst the arid landscapes of the Nokha district, the Nokha Village Community Centre, is a project that not only serves as a community hub for the 144 villages in the district but also as a memorial for Padmaramji Kularia, envisioned by his family.
The Nokha Village Community Centre emerges from the desert environment with a striking presence. Its main architectural feature, a sweeping curvilinear volume, elegantly loops around the site, creating a dynamic interplay of space and form. This design choice is not merely aesthetic but functional, providing an open north-facing courtyard that serves as the community center’s heart.
