INDIA HABITAT CENTRE
India Habitat Centre (IHC) has been conceived as
an ideal physical environment with a range of facilities, that would maximize
the effectiveness of the individuals and institutions, in their holistic
support of the habitat. The principal resolve of the Centre - "to restore
at every level - environment and ecological - a balanced, harmonious and
improved way of life," is reflected in its concept and design.
Spread over nine acres in the heart of New Delhi, IHC has a built up area
of approximately one million square feet. It incorporates innovative new technologies
in building management systems, conference systems, communication and energy
conservation, creating probably the most intelligent building in the country.
The India Habitat Centre logo, an amalgam of the divine archer Shiva, juxtaposed
against the downward pointing triangle that represents his consort Shakti,
symbolizes the archetypal marriage of energies projected in abstract form
- a key to the secret of cosmic and universal harmony.
Several leading corporate entities and non-profit organizations like Tata
Energy Research Institute (TERI), HUDCO, NHB, CII, ILO etc., sharing a common
concern for the 'Habitat', have come together to participate in this exciting
venture of institution building and have evolved a unique equation of synergy
within the complex. India Habitat Centre is now home not only to these offices
and research organizations but houses a club, India's most comprehensive
convention centre as well as several restaurants and performance venues
for cultural activities. The design and operation of the hospitality facilities,
'Habitat World', has been entrusted to Old World Hospitality
Pvt. Ltd.
