Babu-Style Of Graphic Magic Backfired

• Controversy in the issue of design
• Criticism in social media about imitation
• The Government in rethinking

Hyderabad:The Government of Andhra Pradesh state is now rethinking about the designs provided by the companies of Japan for the state’s capital city. Criticism is mounting in the social media regarding the designs provided by the international level architects. The pompous scene created by Chandrababu and his Government about the greatness of the designs seems to have gone waste. It is a word of the mouth that the Government may get ready to even change the design all over again.

A great attempt gone waste

Chand5rababu’s Government selected London, India and Japan for the design of the AP state capital’s administrative buildings. It was suggested that the constructions of the Legislative Assembly and the High Court should be iconic in design. A jury was appointed in the supervision of Christopher Benninger with national and international architects to select one from the designs proposed by the architectural companies. The design proposed by Maki Associates of Japan was thus selected, after a high expenditure of crores of rupees.

Mounted criticism

Some people are criticizing the designs proposed by Japan for Legislative assembly and High Court to resemble smoke outlets of factories rather than Government administrative buildings. Comments also were out stating that the design looked like the building of Chandigarh’s assembly, so it was in no way novel. So higher officials started to discuss if the iconic buildings’ design needed to be changed or the design of the 900-acre administrative area needed to be changed. After spending almost 4-5 months of time and crores of rupees of money, criticism is seeing light, proving the Government’s faulty planning yet again.
