Bangalore One by Rohan Prasad S

Rohan Prasad S’s take on Bangalore One for JDDA 2025 isn’t just some soulless government office facelift—it’s an anti-despair zone, a kind of chill out, for all those exhausted by endless forms and queuing up like it’s Black Friday at a mall.
Rohan’s running with this theme: “Pause – Prioritise a Unique Sense of Ease.” Usually, these centers feel like they’re built for robots, not humans. He flips that on its head—makes it livable. Whole thing’s about accessibility and sustainability, but without that eye-watering price tag. It’s not some half-baked effort. He’s tossing in modular furniture and layouts that actually work for people—not just tall IT dudes or kids, but everyone. No more getting lost or tripping over random wires because the signage is there.
Peak hour chaos is just another myth in this place. He’s sorted out traffic flow with stuff you can follow even if you’re tired, angry, or just plain directionally cursed. Materials-wise—recycled wood, fly ash bricks—stuff that holds value in the sustainability game, not just buzzwords. The construction’s all modular, so it’s not a never-ending racket of hammering for months. Public money gets you real returns fast.
The environment is utilitarian but not soul-crushing. No cement—just friendly, practical, nothing to make your brain scream. Above all, Rohan’s sticking his neck out a bit. Efficiency shouldn’t mean hurrying people along like cattle. Clarity, comfort, dignity—he’s treating citizens like actual people, not ticket numbers waiting to be called. Bangalore One, at least in Rohan’s book, is the antithesis of public service misery. A rare win.
