Architecture is the very mirror of life. You only have to cast
your eyes on the buildings to feel the presence of the past, the
spirit of the place; they are the reflection of society

Creating places and spaces that enrich the lives of people who
use them. One should engage in dialog with the history, beliefs
and needs of a particular place and time. Identification of
place lies a generative core of architecture.

Place is to architecture as meaning is to language

Recognition, memory, choice, sharing with others, the

acquisition of significance; all these contribute to the process
of architecture.

DHAMAAL DANCE
A central location that is easily

chosen.
An importance given to the
water body as a resource to the
community. Hence, it will be

viewing gallery towards the
amphitheatre.
The idea was to create a
community space for the
people ,hence an
amphitheatre being the
public space became the
focal point and all the
other activities emerging
from it . This resulted in a
concentric geometry.
The site is accessible from 3 sides, while the one from the chowk
become the axial one which overlooks directly towards the river
and connects chowk with the water body visually.
