ENTRANCE TO COMPLEX
• Entry to the site is through an inward-looking road with parking bays on either side.
• The entrance is marked double-height entrance.
• The flooring pattern leads towards the entrance foyer.
• The entrance is significant and can be seen from far but not overwhelming as it blends
into the rest of the structure because of its similar look and material.
CONCEPT

through various elements like –
1. Indian Bazars
2. Kund (step well)
The site was initially a flat land
CONCEPT
TRADITIONAL TOWN SQUARE
• A town square is an open public space commonly found in the heart of a
traditional town and used for community gatherings
INDIAN BAZARS
• A bazaar is a permanently enclosed marketplace or street, where goods
and services are exchanged or sold originating from the Persian word
bāzār.
• The term bazaar is sometimes also used to refer to the "network of
merchants, bankers, and craftsmen" who work in that area
CENTRAL KUND
• The central ‘kund’ is reminiscent of the east while step-wells and baolis.
• Earlier, there used to be an actual title water channel which has been
covered up to render the space more usable.
• The kund acts as a space for congregation, where students spill out of their
classes to socialize and interact.
• Activity increases significantly during the evening and lunch hours.

1. Sunken zone with stepped kund
2. Amphitheatre
