Uttarayan Foundation is 10 acres of green built environment overlooking the banks of the river Mahi on the outskirts of the art capital of Gujarat, Vadodara. The campus design for the foundation was privately commissioned by Dr. Rakesh Agrawal in the year 2000 and completed by Karan Grover and Associates in the year 2006. It is comprised of the main building to house studios, secondary building blocks for dormitories + cafeteria for the artists, office building, a few service building blocks, and an amphitheater. The foundation serves as a host to multifarious artists from all over the globe ranging from sculptors to digital print media artists. The infinitude of art produced over the years urged to develop of a museum for the same. The paucity of finds led to the reuse of the studio blocks as a museum and to house the studios elsewhere. The architectonic challenge was to develop an entrance gallery that humbly highlighted itself as the featured gallery but never overpowered the existing builtscape. The new entrance gallery would house the featured works and profiles of the artists whose works have been displayed in the museum. Also, the new building block has to serve as an architectural design solution to guide one through the existing building blocks which when refurbished were to function as museum galleries built around a courtyard.
