You’ll be proud to call
it your own

Selective membership to the Woodrose
Club is now open. Its structure complete, the Woodrose Club was
on public display for the first time on 28 and 29 February during
the Brigade Bonanza.
An exhibition arranged in the Members’ Lounge allowed
visitors to visualise the full potential of the Woodrose Club.
Signage identified both the layout of the Club and the facilities
it would offer. These facilities will be operational in three
phases: the sports facilities in the second quarter of this
year; the health club and gym in the third quarter; and the
rest of the facilities, including rooms, restaurant and banquet
hall, in the last quarter.
The Club is located in an idyllic setting—on a 2.5 acre
plot within the serene, green Brigade Millennium campus, with
the three-acre Millennium Park right next door.
An award-winning design is becoming more of a reality with each
passing day.
An invitation to Architects for
designing a world-class Hill
Resort
at an outstanding location 4 hrs from Bangalore
ARCHITECTS from around the world are being
invited to submit proposals to design Brigade Group's maiden
resort venture in the Western Ghats.
We aspire to make the resort
among the best in the world. We are therefore looking for an
outstanding and innovative design for the resort.
The resort will
have 100-150 rooms/ cottages, conference facilities, swimming
pool and other sports and health facilities. Construction of
the cottages will take place progressively. Our primary objective
in inviting proposals from architects is to obtain a fresh, creative
and outstanding architectural design for the proposed resort.
Globalisation
and architecture
“Globalisation effectively means that you are making
the entire world into one small city. It means that Bangalore
and New York are just different districts. A man travelling
between these cities experiences the same comfort level as
far as appearance, systems, practices
and technologies are
concerned”, explains architect Hafeez Contractor.
Globalisation has had an impact on architecture too. “This
phenomenon has demanded an architectural and urban setting
in response to the new-found business, technologies, and new
social and political orders”, he says.
The trend is also seen in housing developments. “Global
building is about creating buildings according to international
standards. Today when we design, we cater to the highest international
standards. Lighting and ventilation, fire prevention and car
parking norms are of international standards. We also incorporate
finishes, garbage disposal systems, fire escape services, roads,
amenities and signage of global standards. All these are new
innovations in building design.
“Vernacular architecture which uses local materials is
dead. Using local materials has become more expensive.
“Architecture at any point in time responds to technological,
political and social issues of that time. At this point in
time the influences and advancements due to globalisation need
great sensitivity and aptitude on the part of architects and
developers to establish appropriate architecture.”
