ng spaces are not safe.

Concept was derived with the intention of creating the ambience of traditional Indian public spaces like chowks or pols. The building form was positioned to create a small scale resemblance of a chowk. Open spaces enclosed on 3 sides by the building and one by the road or park. Small scale open spaces provided for each building component to engage interaction and create a flexible use of space / extension of a space when required.

Partially shaded connecting corridors to create interesting spaces.

Design Directives I. Balanced massing and continuity hierarchy of spaces ; 01. Level difference, size and proportion of building components; 02. Hierarchy in access - visitors’ , visitors’ cum villagers’ and villagers’ only

II. Articulation of negative spaces III. Visual connectivity throughout but unilateral access route from within the building form, free pedestrian access around the building on site.
