Ministry of Public Administration and Information
Located close to the Queen’s Park Savannah, the Ministry of Public Administration and Information (MPAI) building was conceived as a landmark structure to promote openness of government information. Organized around a top-lit, naturally ventilated atrium, the programme for the ground floor encourages public use through the provision of a café, screening room, and media archive, while accessibility is communicated through the transparency of the glazed façade.
