PERFORMING ARTS CENTER // FOR THE ARTISTS OF VADODARA Sindhrot, Vadodara
View of the colonnade leading to the central court; having dance studios to the right.
Designed with the principle of bio-mimicry as the exercise asked for; this performing arts center located in the outskirts of Vadodara is inspired by the form and function of the placental mammals known as Armadillos. The plan and the sections translate the form of Armadillo to bring in light and air; making the space more inhabitable. The porosity achieved helps in a better functioning of the building. The program consisted of studios to learn different performance arts and an amphitheatre to perform.
