Following its elevation as a University, this block had to exude grandeur, as per the clients brief. A large water body in the front of the Building, with 7 different permutations of water features, namely a cascade flow, braided flow, fall, mirror pool, stepped fall and jets, forms a dynamic element in the design. Spaces for Outdoor reading and interactions have also been provided.
