The institute in the picture houses talents from all parts of India (located in South Delhi), who have come together to be a part of global learning initiatives. The institute is not only a place to exchange knowledge and nurture talents but also a place which showcases fusion-architecture infusing traditional and modern design using various construction materials. This is a good example to demonstrate the Global Construction Approach in India and how globalized economy has influenced modern buildings. Materials are procured both locally and from distant lands to cater to the “needs” and “ideas” of designers and users alike. The table points out a few of those: 1) Materials obtained locally are: B – Plants: From local nursery in Delhi (India); D – Tiles : Made out of local stone-dust/clay; E – Railing: Cast out of Iron/Steel procured locally; G – Concrete: Usually a mix of cement, sand and aggregates obtained locally; H – Granite: From quarries around the outskirts of Delhi; J – Sandstone: From quarries in Rajasthan (India); I – PVC Sheets : Manufactured by local companies. 2) Materials obtained globally are: A – Glass: Tinted Reinforced imported from Japan; C – Bollards: Though assembled locally but components are obtained globally (mainly USA); F – HVAC : Air-conditioning equipments produced by Japanese giant.
