INDIAN HABITAT CENTER BHARAT DIAMOND BOURSE KASHMIR CONFERENCE CENTER UNICEF HEADQUARTERS IN NEW DELHI MASTER PLAN OF DAL LAKE
The India Habitat Centre was started in 1993, and this project was considered revolutionary during that time in India. The National Government, specifically the public agency for Housing and Urban Development Corporation Ltd, wanted an office building for its workers and decided to invite chosen no profit Organizations to be members of the Centre. In a traditional country like India it was a big deal for the Government to invite and include other no profit organizations (e.g. NGO's) in the program and start to work together.
Located in New Delhi, India Habitat Center was conceived to provide a physical environment to serve at a catalyst for the growth of a synergistic relationship between individuals and institutions, which are working on different habitat related areas and thus maximize their total effectiveness.[ Sharing a common concern for habitat, various organizations have come together to participate in institutionbuilding, evolving a synergy within the India Habitat Centre complex. In the proposed complex, an effort is being made to weave urban design into a synergetic interrelationship between institutions working in diverse habitat-related fields and provides a wide array of services and facilities for this interaction. By bringing together such institutions in an integrated urban dissemination, the Centre hopes to achieve a holistic approach to problem-solving.

The center's conference facilities were designed to provide for up to 1000 visitors at international standards, and include an indoor auditorium seating 600, several large flexible meeting halls each accommodating 250 persons, smaller meetings, conference and exhibition areas and television, radio, production and administrative areas.
The conference center was developed along two axes. One leads the visitors eye from the entrance through high ceiling rooms, whose floors step down to present a sweeping view over terraced garden to the lake beyond. The gardens widening rows of magnolia trees edge a series of walks that terminate in short descending flights of steps and small fountains.
A second axis, at 90 degrees to the first, leads in one direction to the conference facilities with the 650 seats auditorium as its focus, and in the opposite direction to the 325 guest rooms which are arranged so that all overlook both lake and mountains.
The interior spaces were finished in keeping with the high standards of international conference facilities, and are most developed in the design of the conference center auditorium, the most elaborately detailed space of any Stein has designed in India. A combination of grandeur and warmth emanates from the space. Inlaid floors and wood walls and ceiling paneling, which in some cases modify and in others continue traditional Kashmiri craftsmanship and forms, were use extensively. Keeping with the orientation of the project towards nature and conservation, the splendors of the changing seasons were variously expressed.
