Architecture is the constant fight between man and nature, the fight to overwhelm nature, to possess it.
The first act of architecture is to put a stone on the ground. That act transforms a condition of nature into
a condition of culture; Its a holy act.

areas of the mall and hot air is allowed to escape through
the vents provided in the atrium ceiling.
The entrance is symbolised as a 30m high clock tower. The
mall also has three more entrances along the longer length.
Lower ground, ground floor and first floor have the shops
and above floors are offices. Also, the family and childrens
play streets are designed in the lower ground level. This level
is illuminated with the natural light coming from the
courtyard. Large fountains and liberal plantations at this level
create a wonderland effect for a family outing.
The variety of elements provided in the mall will provoke
the visitor to reconsider their relationship to the physical,
historical and climatic context of the place.

The part of the site given to the architects was away from the
factory shed yet had a chance to overlook the factory yard
operations. The site was located close to the highway as well, so
it would be widely seen from the highway and always in motion.
The surrounding landscape was open and had a hilly terrain,
which during and after monsoons turned completely green.
