Building is designed in sync with nature and surrounding landscape

By: Publication details: New Delhi Burda Media India Private Limited 2019Edition: Vol.36(12), DecemberDescription: 128-131pSubject(s): Online resources: In: Architecture+DesignSummary: The project was designed with the aim to provide world-class facilities to students who yearn for better socio-cultural interaction and high quality infrastructure, while keeping the cost of the whole construction to the minimum. The vision was to create an auditorium which could be used for other recreational purposes such that it is utilized all-round the year. The basic idea was social upliftment of students of an educational institute with nominal expenses in construction. With the aid of retractable seating, the auditorium could be converted to indoor sports courts. The building is designed in sync with nature and surrounding landscaped area. The wings are connected by open public spaces. Thus, with limited artificial lighting and natural ventilation, the building is made cost-effective without compromising on the quality. An exciting part of a master planning project, the convention centre is designed as the pride of the Kongu Institutional campus at Erode. Congregating campus crowd for all occasions, the convention centre, in a sense lends a unique identity to the university campus. The convention centre consists of a multi- purpose hall, one of the largest in India with a seating capacity of 4500 persons. Alternatively it has one indoor basket-ball court and four indoor badminton courts which are used as sports hall. The building follows a massive geometric form culminating into a saluting base overlooking the sports stadium.
