An auditorium is more than just a large space with an expansive volume. As an architectural entity, it is also a wholesome package of visual, structural and acoustical parameters. The objective of this project was to create a state-of-the-art indoor auditorium-cum-stadium with a capacity of 5000 people, which could accommodate various functions such as convocations, fests, graduation ceremonies, indoor sports and conventions, all within the campus of Anna University in Tamil Nadu. The idea was to visualize and bring to life a building that responds to and blends with its surroundings.
Situated on a site measuring 5.94 acres with abundant existing greens, the proposed auditorium will be a multi-purpose building with smaller meeting spaces that are adaptive in nature. Besides badminton courts, other ancillary features will include a gym, squash room, cafeteria, yoga and meditation hall, passive recreation, outdoor entry, NSS, NCC, music, culture and hobby rooms. The form of the auditorium is conceptualized on the idea of a ‘shell within a shell’, which would flow with the green around. The built form thus originates from the landscape and then takes a dynamic approach. Shaded public spaces and greens, along with an amphitheater have been incorporated in the design to club together with the cafeteria—a warm and comfortable space for students to enjoy.
