The Project Brief is about the design of a new performing arts institution to the Vellore campus of VIT University. The site is located inside the campus and has a beautiful lake inside. The main concept of the design was to integrate the art forms together with an introverted design and create performing hubs and practise areas to facilitate the students. The lake is extended and is made into the main performing area in the institute. The chosen material for this project is compressed stabilised earth blocks because of its sustainable nature and its climatological response to its environment.
