The Krushi Bhawan, which is built at a cost of Rs 70 crore in Bhubaneswar, was shortlisted for the WAF in the Building category.
The architecture festival will be held from December 4 to 6 in Amsterdam. Built over an area of 1.3 lakh square feet, the multi-story building has been constructed by taking inspiration from ikat patterns of Odisha handlooms.
The bricks used are made from different colours of clay that symbolize the diversity of soils in different regions of the state.
