Extroverting the Introvert

‘ Premabhai hall, a restraint built, on Bhadra Plaza (open market), has been abandoned for the last 2 decades because of issues revolving around circulation and functionality. Opening the huge mass of opaque concrete facade which creates the possibilties for intrusion of people from the sides by putting the circulation on the facade rather below it which leads to side spaces of the built. The center part is divided into two spaces. 1. Proscenium of 15 meters of height was done in such a way that the volume is experienced by moving and not by standing below it. 2. Besides the proscenium, there are levels and tunnel in such a way that makes user to walk through them and reach a point which overlooks the Bhadra plaza.’
