ARCITECTURAL CHARACTER
ANALYSIS
The complex has no visibility from the road and lies in the interiors thus preserving the isolation, quietness and solitude of the Kendra THE 3 main entrances create a number of options to be followed to reach the different spaces, each offering different features and views, thus generating interest in the individual. Circulation inside the complex is limited to pedestrians. Various levels have been incorporated to add a new dimension to the simple plan layout. The concept of creating a village environment and setup is fulfilled by the use of materials and different components of a rural setup but the formal planning mars the purpose to an extent. The site planning can be broken down into an arrangement of squares which is the form of all buildings and open spaces. On both macro and micro level, a strong relation exists between the built mass and their surrounding open spaces as they are highly interactive in nature consisting of levels in topography and components like open air theaters, water pools etc. while in the building too, spaces flow into each other giving the interiors a very open feeling creating an ambience which fuels the artists creativitY. Most of the exhibits are in open enclosures with mud walls forming charming frames and providing a pleasant authentic backdrop. Landscaping has been done quite extensively, employing several elements such as water pools, pergolas, freestanding columns, concrete frames etc. the area is full of trees and vegetation, which makes the surroundings cool and pleasant. Minimum breach of existing vegetation and land has been done Baithak-office has been strategically placed at a higher level overlooking the entire complex. In studios, a variety of spaces, both indoor and outdoor are provided where artist can work and relax. An attempt to recreate the scenario by means of mud cottages built in traditional systems has been. Thatch and tiled roofing can also be seen at several places.
