The fish building in Hyderabad, India. The concept behind the building simply resembled the fish shape as the building meant to serve as the national fishers’ building. Also on another story, the building was supposed to be inspired the monumental fish located in Barcelona-Spain, which has been designed by Frank Gehry in 1992. The building was received a number of criticism due to its simple architectural form that literally copying the shape of the fish and paste it onto the site as a building. With no intention or whatsoever to make any effort to at least abstract the shape of the fish or break it down into simple elements and mediate the fish shape to re-form it later on as a building. Regardless of its failure in the aesthetics terms- the architect has also failed in terms of the Design’s functionality by locating the main floor on the first floor level. This means that the reception is located on the first floor and the main visitors will need to walk 20 steps on the stair to reach their destination! If the visitors’ age were above 60, in this case the building might be one of the reasons that will increase the heart attack for older people! And of course there is no need to mention the people with the special need or disability they probably were not meant to enter this building by any means! Shortly, if this building was representing the national fishers’ building no wonder how the sewers department would look like!!

God bless you Naveen. Am sure there is something you designed that's there for the world to see. By the way..the reception is on the ground floor and u don't need to even one step to reach the topmost floor. Separate entrance for differently abled. Just try to understand the write up went without a visit to the place. Truly a masterpiece from Govt of India. I suggest you start working to know ground realities. Best wishes ❣️

this building was is given as a famous example of what not to do bio-mimetic architecture. frankly speaking there is nothing in this structure which can be called 'good'. it is an utter failure of form development. From this building all we learn is what not to do when designing a building. there are many spaces in this building which are hollow and serve no purpose but to give an awful fish look to the form. Honestly it looks like a fish an LKG student would sketch. This structure is an utter failure by the famous architect Frank Gehry

The writer is ill informed. I work here and am proud of its architecture. I also know the architect and the firm CPWD that constructed the building right from the drawings stage. Hats off to all involved. Yes the writer of this article can come to see the place to clear his doubts. Its undoubtedly a monument. Thanks...
