The KTPO Exhibition Center is a 50-acre, 6.5-million-sq-ft exhibition and convention masterplan developed for the Karnataka Trade Promotion Organization in Bengaluru between 2000 and 2004, won through a competition entry. As one of the largest and earliest projects in the practice's institutional portfolio, the masterplan established a flagship trade and exhibition venue for Karnataka, combining vast exhibition halls, convention facilities, and supporting trade infrastructure across a substantial site. The winning design strategy would have addressed large-scale visitor and freight logistics for major trade fairs, flexible hall configurations capable of hosting simultaneous or sequential events, and a landmark architectural identity befitting a state-level trade promotion venue. As a competition-won project from the practice's earlier years, KTPO Exhibition Center stands as a significant credential, demonstrating the firm's capability at the largest end of institutional and exhibition-sector masterplanning, at a scale (6.5 million sq ft) among the very largest in the portfolio.
