Ayodhya Airport

27 Mar 2024 CW Team

In the heart of India, the newly unveiled Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, is not just a transportation hub – it is a living testament to the nation’s cultural richness. In a departure from minimalism, it fosters a revival of local artistry with a harmonious integration of the old and the new. The Ayodhya airport weaves a narrative of empowerment for the region and with its GRIHA four-star certification stands testament to India’s commitment to sustainable practices. Inspired by the Nagara style of temple architecture, it is specifically designed to enhance the visitor experience. This transformative project was meticulously designed and implemented by Sthapati, a New Delhi and Lucknow-based architectural practice renowned for its prowess in airport design and heritage conservation. With a track record of successfully restoring significant sites across India, including airports in Leh, Jodhpur and Jammu, it brings unparalleled expertise to Ayodhya. “We largely used BIM in the design process to integrate the intricacies of architectural design in the building with structural and MEP designs and specifications,” shares Harsh Varshneya, Director and Principal Architect, Sthapati.
