Never before was a medium/high rise typology explored for courthouse architecture in India. Breaking the shackles of complex functionality and rigid, dogmatic conventions to allow such an exploration was especially challenging.
DESIGN DIRECTIONS -
- Exploring a new design language for court-houses in the Indian context.
- Reintegrating court-houses into the social milieu.
- Reworking the organisation structure to make it more efficient.
- Infuse the design with symbolism.
