CONCEPT: TRANSPARENCY WITHIN SPACES Transparency is the ability to see through solid spaces or partitions. Transparency within spaces in terms of architecture means spaces divided by partitions or methods that build partial or full visibility.
Design factors that were kept in mind while designing the building for an artistic experience for the students and the visitors. Make the campus a more habitable place considering the climate, surroundings of the site. use of unconventional materials in the construction of the building such as glass-reinforced jaali and low e glass for facades.
JALI USED IN CORIDORS
The main aim of this concept is to design a campus such that the visitors and the students on the campus feel connected to the artistic environment of the campus.Dividing the building into different levels, double heighted enrance lobbies to give the visitors and the students a sense of gradeur when they enter the building. Diffusing the interiors of the building with the exterior giving them a close to nature, creative environment for the students and visitors.The concept of transparency within spaces will provide and environment that encourages students to think, to wonder, to research and connect with the environment.Develop spaces for the students to engage and practice their respective art forms in the outdoors such as sculpture, painting, and photography by giving them spaces.

QUALITY OF SPACES THROUGH SHADOWS Spatial design refers to the sensorial qualities that space emits. using shadow as a tool to enhance the quality of spaces is what I have attempted to incorporate in my design. The nature of my project demands quality of spaces that help the students to develop their creative qualities. Creating interesting spaces through glass-reinforced concrete jaalis with different patterns. Different pattern jaalis casting different shadow patterns in spaces creating an interesting shadow pattern and helps in adding to the quality of the space.

Cultural Rejuvenation Centre urban design - martin purwa

SITE ANALYSIS The site with an area of 88.4 acres was in a pretty bad condition almost contrasting to the area surrounding the site, i.e. La Martiniere School, Golf Course, and other high profile residential areas. The Martin Purwa slum that has developed over the years leaves the residents there with poor living and hygiene conditions turning that area into a clean authorized colony will help improve the conditions of that area. The proposal of a Cultural Rejuvenation Centre might add to the aesthetics of the whole area and bring more employment options for the residents.

CONCEPT The major concept was to mix elements of modern landscapes along with classic Awadh and french Architectural elements and interpret it in my own design language. Planning a central area that is segregated with a shallow waterbody, consists of the main building block i.e., the Cultural Rejuvenation Centre, the food court, and the open-air theatre. Apart from that spaces have been developed keeping in mind to maintain the ecological balance with green patches and bird sanctuary to counterbalance the hardscape.
