Project
AP206.S1.1982.PR06
Description:
This project series documents a meditation and yoga kendra complex for Yog Sadhna Samiti in the Saket area of Meerut, India from 1982-1983. The project consisted of a U-shaped building with a round meditation hall located between the arms of the U. An outdoor veranda ran through the floor plan, connecting four different volumes. One volume was the meditation hall, another was a stage and large hall, and the other two contained rooms such as a doctor's office, bathtubs, well-being facilities and a library. There are multiple schemes in this project that show different room configurations and uses, but all of which follow a similar exterior envelope. This project is recorded through plans, elevations, sections and a perspective dating from 1982-1983.

Architectural projects
AP206.S1
Description:
The Architectural projects series, 1957-2007, records 82 architectural projects of Aditya Prakash throughout his career as an architect in Chandigarh, India. Most of these projects were completed with his daughter, Chetna Prakash, through his private practice, Arcon Architects, from 1982-2007. These projects include private residences, housing complexes, university campuses, schools, factories, theatres, sport and yoga centres, offices and furniture, among others. The projects include built work, competition entries and proposals, though it is not always clear which projects were realized. While many projects were located in Chandigarh, the series documents projects across northern India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The projects in this series were identified based on their unique locations and dates. Some projects, located at the same site, consisted of multiple buildings and were designed and/or constructed over long periods of time. The materials for projects like this are described together in one project series, instead of being separated out by building or time period. These projects are recorded largely through original drawings, which include sketches, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details, axonometric views and working drawings. However, materials for each project are sparse, often consisting of only 1-10 drawings. Textual records and photographs are also included in the materials for a few projects. The photographs show completed work, while the textual records primarily consist of client correspondence.
