    Raj Rewal was an Indian architect from Punjab whose philosophy was for buildings to respond to rapid urbanization, climate, and culture. In 1972, he designed the Hall of Nations exhibition complex in New Delhi to accommodate large objects by winning a competition. Inspired by traditional jali screens, Rewal incorporated them into the complex's unique space frame system shaped like a truncated pyramid made of cast-in-situ concrete with 4.9m x 4.9m units forming the 73m x 73m base truncated at 30m height and 39m x 39m roof span.

    RAJ REWAL

    Indian Architect, from Punjab.

    Philosophy-
    Building should respond to the complex demand of
    rapid urbanization, climate and culture.

    Sheikh Serai, Parliament Library.

    Hall of Nations was built in 1972.


    HALL OF NATIONS

    Location - New Delhi, India

    The project came into existence due to a


    competition to build a exhibition space to
    accomodate large objects such as a plane,
    satellite etc.

    Raj Rewal won the competition and the result was


    the complex. He was inspired from the traditional
    jali work and incorporated it into the whole
    structure.

    The structure is made of space frame system
    shaped as a Truncated/capped Pyramid.

    The material used for the construction is cast


    in-situ concrete.
    The Hall of Nations consists of
    units of a 4.9m x 4.9m base and
    3.5m height which form the 73m
    x 73m pyramid, truncated at the
    height of 30m with a roof span of
    39m x 39m.
