Concept of the haat
• Conception of the program is as large a design intervention as its physical ,manifestation.
The final functionality found an indoor, well equipped 800 capacity auditorium for formal
concerts and an informal similar capacity open-air mphitheater that works simultaneously
with independent spaces and support services.
• A multipurpose , multi scaled exposition hall for exhibitions and seminars is proposed.
• A set of four baskets houses a music museum, a music store and music workshop space.
• A large ,airconditoned food court extends into shaded courtyards and expansive greens
for the basic needs of spill overs.
• Formal,informal and open shop spaces are created to bring in the required sensitive
adaptions of malls markets and bazaars into this haat .

amphitheater , a music centerfor sales and
exhibition of musical instruments along with
inviting exuberant gathering of budding musicians

TABLE TOWER •TAKING COGNIZANCE OF ALL THE REQUIREMENTS ,

SO AS TO MAKE THE HAAT-A FUNCTIONALLY VIABLE PROGRAM, IT
WAS DECICED TO MUSIC THEME TO THE CENTER. THE LACK OF ANY
CENTER DEDICATED TO MUSIC IS EVIDENT,
AMPITHEATER Not only the music centre, but also the amphitheater
avails to take care of interactive functions.
