MR. SHRAWAN THAKURI
My major design approach was to
create a space that stands with its
surrounding rather than standing out
from it. The main point of departure
for my whole design approach was to
create an open public space that can be
shared by the users of both the sports
arena solving the problem of entrance
at Dasarath Rangashala .Since the
requirement was to build a covered hall
that in houses two multi-sports court,
the secondary axis was developed
perpendicular to the datum line dividing
the whole buildable area into two
halves providing the space required.
The secondary axis is later developed
as the main service spine catering both
the courts and optimizing the whole
buildable space at the same time.
