shopping mall- Mumbai
The design was proposed at an existing site of a mall which was not completed over a due course of time. The site being near the higway was a big advertisement for the mall culture in all its respect. The program propoosed of open floor plate area of shopping with different brands all together similar Target, but on a very small scale.
Also seeing the increase in the communities sprawling around, a small theater was also introduced to act as a flux. But the two different scenarios had to be articulated in one which is then achieved by introducing a disjunction in form of a huge glass rhombus which acted as an atrium and also as a visual and physical barrier. It also acts as a transpatent connection between the two. At the first floor level, a connection is derived through a walkway. The facade is deviced in a form to accomodate the needs of being adverised and advertising the involved brands. Some specific areas are calculated for the advertising purpose.
