Chambal Riverfront
GFRC and UHPC for the Palace of Golden Domes and a set of landmark replicas along Kota’s Chambal Riverfront.
Overview
The Chambal Riverfront in Kota brings together a Rajasthani palace and a set of world-landmark replicas. MIRU produced GFRC and UHPC for the Palace of Golden Domes and for the French Museum, Trevi Fountain and US Capitol replicas.
The work spans domes and towers, carved ornament, columns and figurative relief, recreated in GFRC so the detail could be cast and installed at riverfront scale.

Project stages
1. Analysis
Each building was broken down into domes, towers, facade ornament and figurative pieces, and set out against its structure.
2. Design
Ornament and sculptural detail were modelled in 3D and split into castable pieces sized for transport and lifting.
3. Development
Molds were made from the models, and pieces were cast, finished and installed across the riverfront buildings.
