INFERENCES
The buildings in a contemporary metaphorical replication of the basic plan of the city of Jaipur,
based on the vastu pursh mandala. The architect in his attempt to create a brand image for the
historical city, has tried to get the essence of the existing form but superficially .
The over all circulation lacks of continued covered corridor, which makes the place unusable
during summers and rains.
The open air theatre is enclosed by the high walls which possibly create acoustic and
ventilation problems when there is a large crowd.
The high walls with no fenestration in the faade makes the building enclosed and it does not
open up to the city.
Within the building the activities are disintegrated but combine to a heterogeneous mixture of
various cultural activities happening individually.
