Statue of Unity Nominated for World Architecture News Awards
The Statue of Unity (SoU), world’s tallest monument built as a tribute to India’s first Deputy Prime Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel has been nominated for the prestigious World Architecture News Awards 2019 in the mixed-use category. Showcasing the best designs in current and future projects, the World Architecture News Awards recognize design and architectural excellence on a global stage. In the mixed-use category, the SoU will compete against projects that have gone beyond their traditional commercial mandate and offer flexibility in terms of future use, engender a sense of community and augment development.

Having received more than 2 million visitors since it first opened to public, the SoU has already become a major tourist attraction in the state of Gujarat and led to the rapid development of the area where it is located. Experts predict that SoU could generate up to 15,000 direct jobs in tourism and allied sectors for the locals every year.

At 182 meters tall, the SoU is a towering structure built to withstand windspeeds of up to 180 kmph and endure earthquakes measuring 6.8 on the Richter Scale. A remarkable structure in every way conceivable, the SoU was delivered by L&T in a record time of just 33 months. Besides being a symbol of national pride and integration, the SoU is also a testament to L&T’s superior engineering & project management capabilities and spirit of teamwork.
