The highly anticipated Agri Skill Institute GPS IOAM is now complete - and it features a park of its own that climbs 50 Ft Height x 7¼ Ft Width into the sky in a breathtaking marriage of Architecture and Nature. The intricate project created by Multiplex Group reminds us all that the natural world can thrive in harmony with the built urban environment.
GPS IOAM living green facade exhibits 300 species of native flora.
The living and breathing structure was thoughtfully curated to ensure that every aspect of the design serves a significant purpose. This is especially apparent in the gleaming assembly of motorized mirrors that rests atop the towers, designed to capture sunlight and direct rays down onto the living landscape below as the sun sets,

The grounds will serve as a tranquil respite from city life, conference hall, AC classroom & restaurant.
GPS IOAM exemplifies what many envision as the future of urban architecture. As concrete structures pave skylines around the world, the urban heat island effect causes temperatures to rise, and a severe lack of greenery has worsened air quality and pollution. The innovative solutions embodied in this building offer a glorious new vision for our future cities.
