Guwahati, Assam

SDAArchitect is proud to announce that construction has officially commenced on the much-anticipated Science City Guwahati, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to science education, innovation, and public engagement. This milestone follows SDAArchitect’s success in winning the prestigious design competition for the project in 2015, after which the firm has been leading the meticulous design development phase to bring this visionary endeavor to fruition.

Science City Guwahati, spearheaded by the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM) and the Assam Science Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC), represents a significant investment in the region’s scientific literacy and infrastructure. Funded by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, and the Department of Science & Technology, Government of Assam, this project is set to become a landmark institution, fostering curiosity, innovation, and interactive learning for visitors of all ages.

Nestled within a 30-acre site in Tapesia, Sonapur Circle, approximately 22 kilometers from Guwahati’s city center, the project boasts a unique topographical setting comprising rolling hills, plateaus, and open plains. SDAArchitect’s design seamlessly integrates with the natural terrain, embodying an organic architectural approach that fosters a dynamic interplay between built spaces and the landscape.

SDAArchitect’s approach to Science City Guwahati is rooted in context-sensitive design, ensuring that the architecture complements the site’s natural features while providing an engaging, immersive experience for visitors. The spatial planning is biophilic in nature, with built forms interwoven into the landscape to create an environment that enhances learning and discovery.

The architectural language of the Science City is a fusion of contemporary design principles and vernacular influences, resulting in a built environment that is both aesthetically compelling and functionally efficient. Passive design strategies such as natural ventilation, daylight optimization, and thermal massing are employed to enhance energy efficiency and create comfortable interior environments.

Among the major architectural and functional components of Science City Guwahati are:

Thematic Science Galleries – Showcasing interactive exhibits on subjects ranging from astrophysics to sustainable technology.

Innovation Hub – A state-of-the-art research and learning center encouraging hands-on scientific exploration.

Science Park – An outdoor experiential space featuring scaled models, interactive installations, and open-air exhibits.

Digital Planetarium – Equipped with cutting-edge projection technology to offer immersive astronomical experiences.

Amphitheater and Exhibition Halls – Multi-use spaces for science fairs, workshops, and knowledge-sharing events.

With sustainability at the core of its design philosophy, Science City Guwahati incorporates eco-sensitive planning that minimizes environmental impact while enhancing energy efficiency. Rainwater harvesting, solar power generation, and green roofing techniques are integrated into the project to align with net-zero energy principles. The landscape design employs native plant species to promote biodiversity and reduce water consumption.

“SDAArchitect’s vision for Science City Guwahati is to craft a space that not only serves as an epicenter for scientific discovery but also exists in harmony with its natural surroundings,” said SunandoDasgupta, Principal Architect at SDAArchitect. “We have prioritized a design approach that is both contextual and forward-thinking, allowing for adaptability and sustainability while delivering an unparalleled visitor experience.”

As construction progresses, Science City Guwahati is set to emerge as a cultural and educational landmark, elevating the city’s profile as a center for scientific innovation and knowledge dissemination. This transformative project will serve as a dynamic educational hub, igniting curiosity and inspiring the next generation of scientists, innovators, and thinkers.

The completion of Science City Guwahati is expected to create a ripple effect in the region, fostering a deeper appreciation for science, technology, and environmental stewardship. SDAArchitect remains committed to delivering an architectural masterpiece that embodies creativity, sustainability, and educational excellence.
