The Structure
The façade of the office of the Odisha State Department for Agriculture and Farmers’ Empowerment has been modelled on the distinctive ikat weave of Odisha expressed in pigmented bricks, signifying geographical diversity of the region. This brick-louvered screen acts as a solar shading device.
The light fixtures and metal screenshots in the corridors exhibit the best of tribal craft of Dhokra. Locally-sourced locally-sourced laterite and khondalite stones have been used in the building. It has beautifully hand-carved khondalite lattices and bas-relief carvings in the Odia Pattachitra style  laterite stone, depicting agricultural motifs.
An invigorated urban realm has been created by opening up the ground floor as an extension of the street, raised on stilts to create a public plaza for community engagement. The rooftop has been designed to house urban farming exhibits and demonstration of agricultural best practices.
