SERVICES:
Idea of pavilion complementing the nature of the program /temporal
Two major components, the Banquet hall and the Auditorium blocked.
Need for identity for each of these spaces encourages us to move the Auditorium to the higher level, the ground is now occupied by the multifunctional space allowing it to expand in either directions. The same holds good for the auditorium at upper level.
Guest rooms facility is taken to the upper most level, which acts as a cover over the lounge/ multifunctional space complementing the auditorium.
The structure/pavilion is interpreted as portals suspending and supporting these volumes expressing the intended lightness.
The skin defines spaces for services, lounges etc and also becomes an integral part of the proceedings. The skin and structures accommodate lighting, symbolic of congregational activities and celebrations.
