The whole design was brought to respond the climatic and physical context of jaisalmer through the lens of architect Mario Botta. The centre was imagined as a "shelter" during daytime (being underground) and "Public Plaza" by  the night. The whole design was intiated to contrast  the verticality of surroundings by building a plith, emphasizing horizontality, which will have platonic geometric pavilions as usage spaces. Further it was evolved to respond botta's attitude towards light, shadow  and mass.
