Entrance Foyer, Administrative Building - Jenburkt Pharmaceuticals Limited.
The space is conceived with the restraint of contemporary corporate architecture - yet it carries within it a soul that is unmistakably rooted in the cultural landscape of Gujarat.
Central to arrival of the foyer is ‘Mata ni Pachedi’ - the sacred textile tradition originating from the Devi-Pujak community of Gujarat, rendered in the tradition's characteristic depiction of Goddess Meldi.
This work, finding its home within a corporate institution is in itself a statement of core values of the founders and that of the current generation that is carrying forward their legacy. To place this work of Art at the heart of their Administrative office is gesture of genuine reverence and faith, it deserves to be honoured and has been put up at a place where the institution works and gathers. In commissioning and patronizing this work, they have ensured that a living heritage tradition finds continuity not in a museum, but in the rhythms of everyday institutional life.
The pairing is considered and precise: the rigour of modern construction on one hand, and the living heritage of a two-hundred-year-old folk tradition on the other. Together, they frame a foyer that is at once a place of arrival and a place of intention - where a pharmaceutical institution grounds its identity not merely in the contemporary, but in the enduring cultural fabric of the land from which it grows.
