The Surat Diamond Bourse, Surat, Gujarat, by Morphogenesis Architects

The Surat Diamond Bourse project in Surat, Gujarat, by Morphogenesis Architects, has been honoured with the prestigious Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design—Green Good Design Award and the Realty+ Award. More than 92% of the world’s diamond pieces are cut in Surat, in the western Indian state of Gujarat, with the city hosting the world’s largest community of diamond workers. However, most traders face a daily commute of over 250 kilometers by train to reach Mumbai, impacting their cost of living, commuting, and access to a healthy quality of life. The Surat Diamond Bourse brings this vast community together, uniting all activities of cutting, polishing, and trading under one roof. With a built-up area of over 7.1 million sq. ft., occupying a 36-acre site, the design of the bourse redefines the conventional office building typology while establishing new sustainability benchmarks within the hot and humid climatic context of Surat.
