Entering the plaza- The public plaza is a reinterpretation of the classic archetype, where one can walk into it and beneath it. It’s levels gradually ascend to the highest plinth that forms the base for the monumental tower. The plaza draws inspiration from Mediterranean ‘Souk’ markets that are well shaded, often underground streets. It hosts a variety of public activities and outreach programs by the organizations housed in the office tower. This strategy helps adapt the plaza to the harsh Ahmedabad summer afternoons. The terraced platforms liven up in the evenings, opening out to the surrounding Siddi gardens and Sardar Baug, mediating between the two green spaces.
