Regional Architectural Characters Of Odisha In Contemporary Buildings

Author(s) Ms. Vaishnavi Eppili
Country India
Abstract Architecture plays a vital role in representing the cultural identity of a region and shaping the way people experience its built environment. Odisha, with its diverse heritage of temples, vernacular dwellings, stupas, forts, palaces, paintings and craft traditions, holds diverse architectural characters that contribute to its distinct visual identity. However, in the contemporary context the integration of these elements is often inconsistent or absent. The intend of the research is to identify regional architectural characters of Odisha which can be further reinterpret in a way that is relevant in contemporary architecture and contributes to regional identity. This focuses on the visual identity of exteriors of built form and finally to come up with recommendations that can be applied to future contemporary building designs. The study is conducted through secondary data-based analysis and literature case study analysis. Further a primary survey is conducted in form of questionnaires for architects and architecture students associated with Odisha to get their perception regarding the identity of state. This results in a set of design-based recommendations to guide future architecture in Odisha, emphasizing form, spatial organization, materiality, ornamentation, and visual expression. By bridging identified characters with contemporary practices, the research seeks to strengthen place-making, enhance memorability and reinforce Odisha’s architectural identity in its contemporary built environment.
