Competition Brief:
Academy's Recess proposes the generation of architectural ideas for outdoor activities for the institution's amphitheatre area while retaining the original functionality of the space. Interaction and Activity in a natural environment is the key focus of the competition.
Narrative:
The Amphitheatre is a fusion of various departments. The design provides a space where all the students come to unwind and just be themselves. To make it lively, the space is equipped with a musical niche with pre-installed instruments like a foot piano, a clap box and a xylophone. A watchtower stands in the middle of the amphitheatre, encompassing the banyan tree, giving the students a panoramic view of the space.
The place is littered with crescent-shaped stools, and their retractable nature prevents them from being an obstacle. The college logo is seen in the form of a seating area, bordering the walls. It's the perfect spot for relaxing with the overview of the banyan tree, and it makes an excellent background for pictures. The logo is bordered with an LED lighting which compels you to stay and extend the experiential nature of the place.
