Udaipur Smart City Pavilion

Designed within a compact 4m × 5m footprint, this exhibition transformed an extensive body of Smart City initiatives into a clear and immersive public narrative. The challenge lay not only in exhibiting information, but in distilling years of urban interventions into a concise, engaging, and easily navigable experience.

At the heart of the pavilion was a meticulously illustrated skyline of Udaipur’s historic core—an architectural section that captured the city’s layered character through its lakes, ghats, temples, bazaars, fort walls, public buildings, and streets. Developed over several months, the panoramic graphic became both an exhibit and a storytelling device, communicating the scale and impact of heritage conservation undertaken across the walled city.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Mewari architectural elements, the pavilion employed illuminated arches, carved gateway motifs, and a restrained material palette to create a contemporary interpretation of Udaipur’s architectural identity. The result was a compact yet powerful exhibition environment that translated complex urban transformation into an accessible and memorable spatial experience.
