The government of Rajasthan decided to set-up a multi cultural international level centre in Jaipur on the lines of India International Centre, New Delhi. Jaipur Development Authority was entrusted with this task in April 2011.
An all India design competition was conducted by JDA inviting designs from the eminent architects of the Country to select the best building design for RIC. The design proposed by M/s Pramod Jain and Associates was adjudged best and the firm was awarded the project. The foundation of RIC was laid on 19th April 2013 by Hon'ble Shri Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister, Rajasthan and Hon'ble Shri Shanti Dhariwal, Minister for Urban Development & Housing, Rajasthan.
A configuration of square modules is adopted in building design, taking inspiration from Navgrah of Hindu mythology. The nine squares in the centre are designed with a central cut-out on all floors, with skylight nomenclature as Brahma energizing the whole building.
The central square is further extended in North and South directions in a staggered manner which hosts the Convention hall and Auditorium on its two ends.
The building blocks of square module are placed at 45 degree on the North-South axis to avoid direct sunlight and existing topography helped in creating the main entrances on its two opposite ends.
