Unity Pavilion: Main Hall

Designed by Piero & Gloria

The name derives from and refers to the concept of Human Unity, announced by Sri Aurobindo. The building was conceived as a point of focus for the International Zone in Auroville, a place where Eastern, Western and all other cultures would meet up and learn from each other. It was to also be a ‘common ground’ for nations within Auroville unable to build their own pavilions. 

The first phase began in 2000, with a simple structure for offices and administration. The second phase, the main building, is a large multi-purpose hall built with good acoustic quality and light. The aim of the design was to create a harmonious atmosphere between space and materials; where people would feel comfortable, and at ease. The designing allows the hall to be used for a variety of functions ranging from conferences, meetings, exhibitions and simple musical performances. The building was inaugurated in 2012.

Vision

It is like the Force, the central Force of Auroville, the cohesive Force of Auroville.
