- Designed by Vastushilpa Sangath LLP, the design of every element in Smriti Van symbolizes rebirth, renewal, hope, and the beginning of the journey of life. "Plant a tree for each victim" is the short and precise brief that Smriti Van is designed around. The trees together form the world's largest Miyawaki Forest where every drop of water is conserved through several reservoirs that are placed and designed strategically.
#MyGreatFacade is a series presented by Fenesta Windows in association with #Buildofy

Principal Architect Rajeev Kathpalia has also designed a sun point where visitors can soak in the sunrise as well as the sunset. A museum comprising multiple galleries showcasing the tradition, culture, and new technologies weaves the whole memorial together.

When vision meet right executioner. Kudos to Architect and PM Modi for such a vision.
Love the architecture, design and magnificent work of artisans, craftsman and technicians behind this place.
We need more like this signature architecture buildings across India.
I found the design of Smriti Van incredibly touching and the concept of Plant a tree for each victim is a great initiative. The sun point and the museum depicting the culture and tradition of the place is truly unique. The reservoirs to conserve water is a great idea, which is sure to benefit the environment. Hats off to the team.
Public spaces like these elevate the city's landscape
This guy is awesome. I could listen to him speak on about architecture all day lol
So surreal and beautiful. Thank you for such a mindful tribute.
This is fantastic at so many levels - remembrance for so many lives lost, magnificent design of the memorial now available to be experienced by all & accompanied by such a meaningful commentary by Rajeev Kathpalia - the architect
🙏🏼
Truly beautiful. A final resting place for those gone and a peaceful sojourn for us.
Thankyou so much.
Found it an awesome way to pay tribute n also to showcase the vivid living, science, history. Truly marvelous idea
Sir your design of smriti van is just so much wonderful.Thank for giving kutch such a beautiful memorial.
probably the best video on here.. not to mention some of the best architecture ive seen.
How is this not on top 10 things to do in India.. I only came to know about it when I saw a 3 minutes promo about 2023 places to visit in architectural digest. So much for youtube algorithm. Perhaps Google bard will do a better job. 16:55
Fascinating Architecture.
Beautiful ! It is a magnificent piece of architecture ! I liked very much the idea of notches that represents the gradual moving of the Moon from the New Moon (Amavasya night) to the Full Moon (Poornima night). 🙏🙏
Gujarat proves that
When there's a will there's a way 😊
salute MoDi G😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
This is beautiful
Phenomenal👏🙏
Amazing
9/11 US and 26/1 Bhuj ...in both tremendous loss of life is common.US always makes money out of everything.
Am I the only one here who has no Idea.Such an intelligent architecture and a bigger thought behind it exist in India.We need to learn this from US.This architecture is so aesthetically beautiful, thoughtful, nature friendly and has a larger than life thought behind it.Planting 12000 in drought area is not a joke. Just Wow! We want to see more such architectures here.🙏🙏🙏
Are you contradicting your thoughts ... What's has it with the US

It was painful the disaster hit Gujarat and took toll 😢 and a museum erected to commemorate is Great. Likewise, there should be museums in Gujarat in the memories of victims of 2002 Gujarat riots .
Yes , especially the *godhra train burn* which caused the retaliation.
And also a museum of kashmiri hindu genocide and mophala Hindu genocide 😢
Thank you Modiji for this 👏👏👌🇮🇳❤️😍
🇮🇳👍🙏
What is role of an architect in this society? Is it not to make your client understand the value of their resources and it's impact on the environment. What is the intent behind building this monument? Could the resources be used to help the families of victims and propagate knowledge for any future disasters. The design is from the most prestigious firms in India and it shows in it's maturity. But I request you to honestly ask yourself (the architect and the viewers). Is the architecture deeply rooted with it's surroundings? Do we need concrete masses of this scale in our current climate crisis? Is it not ironical to the intent it has been erected.
Life is complex. Simply saying don’t do this and use money instead to help X, Y,Z can sometimes be an oversimplification. Don’t get me wrong I agree with you to some extent. Often places like this create mini eco systems for the locals so helps everyone and the creative, artistic, educational benefits are priceless. I personally thinks it’s been designed and constructed in a very sensitive and humble way in keeping with local landscape, culture and architecture. My family is from Bhuj, I almost have tears in my eyes to see something so beautiful and impressive in my small area of Bhuj (which we lovingly call…Marrho Kutch Rho) which is so often overlooked as it’s in the middle of nowhere-where.
This museum is built by Jaisalmer yello stone
I respect the design and the firm but I wanted to ask people, who have watched or who are going to watch this video, why this monument was made at a scale this huge?
Are we trying to create opportunities for new man-made climate crisis by dedicating such concrete laden buildings to memorize natural disasters? And what about the people who suffered in this? What place in this huge complex and design do they really have?
It's such a sad state in humanity to even consider making inorganic structures for something that shook the nation. Please consider this thought for any new endeavours.
You are either dumb or too naive or maybe have too much hatred for Gujarat as a whole. The entire city of Bhuj was destroyed and whatever you see today is the result of resettlement because of the efforts of the Gujarat state government. I was alive in Gujarat when the tragedy stuck, my uncle was in the kutch region when the tragedy stuck, luckily they are alive. The museum is a testament for human tragedy and how we overcame that and became one of the leading industrial regions in India. People like you have no problem attending the 9/11 museum in New York, or the holocaust museum in Poland but have a problem when India does similar things. Shame on you.
I think it's high time indian architects start looking at the works of great international architects before they venture into such projects. This building has no character ,style or massing.this is supposed to be a place of mourning simple and minimalist and not a desert resort.
Very confused and conturted architecture
Very irritating music 🙄🙄🙄
