Yashobhoomi has been conceived as a smart, mixed-use urban development project with a convention centre to exhibit India’s growth and achievements to the world and contribute to the country’s GDP growth. Combining technology, innovation, and culture, the project aims to fulfil the need for a common interaction ground between Indian and international businesses, investors, and buyers.
Covering an expansive 225 acres, the complex features a thoughtfully curated mix of diverse developments. Yashobhoomi has been completed in the project’s first phase, along with two exhibition halls, parking design for 3000 cars, and site servicing. The entire project is set to be completed by 2025, including three more exhibition halls, retail centres, hotels, offices, museums, and a 20,000-seater, world-class indoor arena with India’s first-of-its-kind circular retractable roof.
Editor’s Note: “Blending futuristic vision with the soul of Indian culture, Yashobhoomi stands as an architectural marvel, where tradition meets innovation. Rooted in the principles of sustainability and context, its design ensures a harmonious present while paving the way for a vibrant future. Expansive exhibition halls flow effortlessly into lush green landscapes, creating a seamless union between the built environment and unbuilt.” ~Simran Khare
Yashobhoomi Convention Centre Exhibit India’s Growth to the World | CP Kukreja Architects
Envisaged at a Central Business District (CBD) scale, this massive project embraces Indian culture and tradition while embodying the nation’s forward-looking aspirations through contemporary planning and architecture.
The state-of-the-art Convention Centre is one of the world’s largest. It is designed to host more than 11,000 people for international conferences, exhibitions or trade shows. It comprises a main auditorium of 6,000+ capacity, a grand ballroom for 2,300+ people, 15 convention rooms also catering to 3,000 people combined, and several meeting rooms.
One of the most significant design features of the entire project is the crown of this building — an external LED video wall poised to be among the world’s largest, the 100,000 sq. ft. screen wraps the building from rooftop level and tilts outward at a 45-degree angle for easy viewing.
Yashobhoomi propels India into the future, positioning the nation as a global leader in the exhibition and convention industry. Meanwhile, it provides a platform to display its spectacular sustainable design, innovation and engineering skills.
Moreover, with its revolutionary ideas, the project presents an exemplar for developing a mini-cityscape that thrives as a biodiverse, mixed-use urban establishment in a concrete jungle. Setting multiple infrastructural milestones for India, the Yashobhoomi heralds the country’s growth in terms of architecture. It also heralds the public infrastructure, and economic opportunities alike.
Strategically located adjacent to all major transportation nodes in the capital, the site is easily accessible. The design ensures hassle-free mobility throughout the campus at every level.
The design incorporates car-free zones, extensive pedestrian walkways, and a metro station within the site. Additionally, it has provisions for electric transport, ensuring walkability and universal accessibility. Green boulevards and shaded spaces encourage interaction and provide natural recreational areas. Thus, it is complete with water features that positively influence the area’s microclimate.
The exhibition halls stand out, offering flexible configurations that can be divided into four distinct spaces. Here each is approximately 80 x 80 meters, to accommodate various exhibition requirements. Multiple accesses to the complex create permeability with the urban context, seamlessly integrating it into its vicinity.
