WHAT IS CULTURE?
• Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found
in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities
and habits of the individuals in these groups.
• Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization,
which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies.
• The cultural center is often a meeting point in small communities where people come
together to preserve traditions and develop cultural activities that include the participation
of the whole family.
• As a general rule, the activities of the cultural centers are free or very affordable, so that
nobody be dismissed for economic reasons. The property of cultural centers is usually
State or cooperative, because it generally non-profit institutions.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II the ruler of
Amber, after whom the city has been named
and the architect of the city was Vidhyadhar
Bhattacharya.

town, or a military base, but a centre for
commerce and trading. The new capital
was meticulously planned, keeping in mind
the traditional treatise on architecture, the
Vastu Shastra.

• The city was planned in 9 blocks which
signifies the nine planets and these blocks
follows the grid pattern with roads linking
the whole city.
• Although the 9th block at the north western
part was inhabitable because of the
presence of steep hills hence that part was
shifted to south eastern area forming an
asymmetrical pattern.
5. Layout Plan
04
• Following the directions of the Hindu
Shilpa shastra, width of the main streets
& other lanes were fixed. Thus the main
streets of the city were 111ft. wide,
secondary streets 55 ft. wide & the
smaller ones 27ft. wide. 111 is a holy
number in Hinduism and hence
considered lucky also.
• The directions of each street and market
are East to West and North to South.
• The commercial shops were designed in
Jaipur in the multiples of nine (27),
having one cross street for a planet.
"Nine" signifies the nine planets of the
ancient astrological zodiac, and twenty-
seven signifies the 27 nakshatras.

16. Concept
14
Charles Correa’s plan for the ‘Jawahar Kala Kendra’ invokes directly the original
navagraha’ or nine house mandala. His ideology was to invoke the underlying construct
of the cosmos they are meant to represent.
In the museum, Correa’s direct imitation of the Jaipur city is evident in the displacing of
one of its square from the nine square construct to create a main entrance. Hence on a
closer examination one could suggest that Correa used the nine square Mandala not
only as a structuring device but also to consciously invoke the symbolism of traditional
city.
The astrological symbol of each planet is directly expressed in a cut-out opening along
its external wall.
THE NAVGRAH CONCEPT
The ideology behind this
cultural centre is quite
fascinating as the architect
chose the Jaipur’s city plan
to be constructed as a
centre for preserving the
city’s rich art and culture.
18. Conceptual Features
16
Each of the squares is defined by 8-metre-
high walls. The building programme has
been “disaggregated” into eight separate
groupings corresponding to the symbol/color
represented by that particular planet.
The materials used have been carefully
picked which can related and reflect to the
nature of the space. The use of local yellow
sandstone, red sandstone, lime, red-rubble,
marble, terracotta and other materials, narrow
passage ways and wide courtyards, frequent
openings with connecting vistas, the imitation
of step wells in the courtyard and through
many other small details.

Demerits:
1. Public and private areas were not
being separated so the crowd will
sometime trespass the prohibited
areas like the projector room.

Auditorium is given.
3. the backstage passage should be
hidden as it is only being used for the
services.
