В 1970-х годах в Индии был запущен проект по созданию национальных центров Bharat Bhavan («Индийский дом») в каждом штате страны для сохранения ее культурного наследия. До конца проект доведен не был, и сегодня конкурсантам предлагается пофантазировать о том, как мог бы выглядеть «Индийский дом» сегодня, и какими функциями следует его наделить.

The first commission of this vision went to Architect Charles Correa where he was endowed with the responsibility to design the first-ever Bharat Bhavan, in Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh). It provided space for contemporary expression, thought, quest and innovation for creative pursuits grass rooting from the rural to urban areas.
India has embraced similar public venues and cultural institutions after this building; however, this was the only ‘India House' built. The original plan of having one in each state did not reach realization.
If we could ever implement this vision where every state could have a Bharat Bhavan in the context of today, how would it be? How would its design speak of the newer interpretations and aspirations of its people, its culture, its daily life?
Design Challenge: To build a new Bharat Bhavan in the context of 2020, encapsulating things that have Made India and are Made in India. This thought can extend to its art forms, to people, culture, technologies, foods, techniques, theatre, performing arts, dance, rituals, film, music, fine arts and a lot more.
