View of the Frame of JJ Training College with walls exhibiting the art and sculptures.
Surat with its rich cultural heritage has significant architectural structures in the heart of the city. Though the city has stained the old part with demolition of many heritage structure. The city has also started restoring them. This design tries to bring light to these structures through creation of frames and presenting them creating a storyline with a help of exhibits on walls explaning the city’s history.
The design also tries to make a statement as well as stay humble to the context; the planes framing the view places the heritage in a larger exhibit with its content. The opportunity of creating such structure at the city center would also increase the awareness of the city’s progress in restoring and introduce the visitor’s to the history and significance of the surrounding area. Isometric view of the visitor center with context.
