Building Style and Forms

The building profile will have natural light , air, movement,access elements against the sky to express the cosmicrelationship.

The building base will gradually widen towards the groundthrough platforms, terraces, and steps.

The building mass will integrate roof, rainwater, cascades,water bodies, natural landscapes, gardens, foliage.

The external finish of the building will express onehomogenous mass but will have adequate details/textures/surface modulations.

The main arrival to the building will be at a higher or raisedlevel- with provision for a lower entry to express duality.

And finally Aesthetic considerations will take into account localsymbolism, context, and associations.

Casting of shadows, breaking of mass, rhythms in thestructure, solids, voids, will be the mode of expression.
