of Bangalore at the edge of the
garden around the park adjoining a

The design of Suzlon One Earth is highly
inspired by iconic Indian historical sites like
Fatehpur Sikri and the Meenakshi Sundareshvara
Temple complex in Madurai. These campuses
show a clustered form of arrangement with an
ingenious play between open and closed spaces.
They both have solid, flat components that
integrate the complexes and highlight features
that emphasize quadrants and sacred places.
These campuses of reference also contain water
bodies, an idea which was translated to Suzlon
One Earth.

Infosys (Mysore)
Introduction
The architecture of software
development block 'Infosys
building in Mysore' is known for
its jagged facades and lopsided
fragments style. Thoughtfully
designed by Ar. Hafeez Contractor,
the unique design concept for this
building came to the architect's
mind when he visited the site for
the first time which is situated on a
tremendously contoured site in
Mysore.
ABOUT
■ Location: Mysore (India)
■ Architects: AR. Hafeez Contractor
■ Use: Offices
■ Year: 2009
■ Site Area: 350 Acre
■ Certification: LEED (Platinum),
USGBC (Platinum), GRIHA
(5 Star)
Concept
The craggy character of the
topography inspired the building's
architecture, which Ar. Hafeez
Contractor decided would match the
curved site. The Origami concept
worked well with the building's
length, and he then opted to apply the
technique of folding paper, which is
certain to "represent the site's spirit”.
Key Features
■ Water Efficiency
■ Indoor environment quality
■ Green Power
■ Efficient Material Selection and
Management
