(HMDA) The proposal to set up Hyderabad Habitat Centre (HHC) taking inspiration
from the New Delhi’s Indian Habitat Centre has recently been cleared by the government
and the process of identifying a consultant to work out broad contours of the project is to
start soon.
With the concept for the project based on that of the Indian Habitat Centre, the HHC will
be formed in a manner such that it will act as a common venue for all cultural activities.
As a result, it will facilitate the exhibition of different art forms, cultural extravaganza as
well as any other activities that would be relevant in displaying the rich cultural heritage
of the city. Moreover, it will act as a common ground for the display of different varieties
of fine arts as well as cultural displays, not only belonging to local talent, but also those
belonging to national and international artists.
The fact that the city currently does not have a facility which is spacious and has all the
adequate facilities required for the display of various art and cultural activities is
considered to be a major drawback..
Promote awareness in regard to habitat related environmental issues including water, air,
noise and waste pollution , energy and its conservation , water and human management
and other such matters.
The proposal for the development of the HHC was considered so that it will facilitate as a
venue for the display of any artistic or cultural activities , be it a painting exhibition, a
dance performance a theatre performance.
Advice and if needed , assist the government in the formation and implementation of
policies relating to habitat and human settlements.
3. The HHC, which is being planned on the lines of India Habitat Centre in New Delhi,
will promote art and heritage with regard to performing arts like dance, drama, and
music, painting, art and craft, sculpture, cultural heritage, architecture, cuisine, etc.
4. The urban planning body would act as chief promoter, contributing the land and seed
capital for the HHC, which is to take shape on the Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
mode.
5. The project is estimated to coat about Rs 266 crore. As the chief promoter, HMDA
will contribute the land and seed capital. The executive committee of HMDA, which
has met recently, has given a green signal for the project.
7. HMDA officials told Express that the consultant carried out a feasibility study for the
HHC project. They include core facilities that promoted heritage and art of
Hyderabad _ visual art gallery, sculpture courts, library and resource centre along
with learning centre for organising workshops, training, studio works, etc.

Libraries perform a range of function in society. Academic libraries, for example, obtain,
collect and store literature for education and research purposes and are usually open to
the general public.
Public libraries provide communities with a wide choice of more general literature and
other information media, with as much as possible displayed on open shelves.
The provision of spaces in a libraries depends on the number of person and the
distribution of individual subject groups. Special work places are required for people with
disabilities (wheelchair users and visually impaired)

HOW TO APPROACH –
PLANNING –
1. The complex is built on an area of 9 acres with a super built-up area of 97,000 sq mt and
can be accessed through three side having lodhi road on the northern side segregating
vehicular and pedestrian movement.

And the refinement of indigenous techniques, Stein integrated these elements with
the modern use of exposed concrete and massive piers and exposed roof patterns.
The use of local materials such as rugged quartzite stone and blue Kota flooring is
softened by screened jalis in ceramic blue tiles that resonate with the intricate
patterns found in Islamic architecture.
The curving façade of the residential wing corresponds to the curving paths and
walkways in the adjacent Lodi gardens.
Overall, there is a sublime fusion of the IIC complex with Lodi Gardens.
