    Programme The Centre was created to
    train staff of an NGO
    working with people
    inhabiting nearby ‘chars’.
    Offices, a library, meeting
    rooms, prayer and tea rooms
    are included in pavilion-like
    buildings surrounded by
    courts and pools. The local
    hand-made brick construction
    has been inspired by the
    monastic aesthetic of the 3rd-
    Century BC ‘Mahasthan’
    ruins. Structural elements are
    of reinforced concrete.
    Finishes also include timber
    and stone. The naturally
    ventilated structures have
    green roofs. The Centre is
    located in an agricultural area
    susceptible to flooding,
    earthquakes and low-bearing
    soil. As a result, an
    embankment has been
    constructed with a water run-
    off pumping facility.
