    INFERENCES
    The building is a contemporary metaphorical replication of the basic plan of city of
    Jaipur,based on the vastu pursh mandala.
    The open air theatre is enclosed by the 8m high walls which create acoustic problem at
    the time of crowd.
    The place has an amazing interplay of light ,shadows and colours, evoking emotions in
    the user and invite him to move further.
    Parking space is insufficient at the time of festival hosted by the Kendra.
    The landscaping was also done as per planets astrological values in the whole complex,
    in each square wherever required.
    In pergolas of library section ,spanning between the beams was designed and kept such
    that the local materials available like wooden bamboo sticks could be used to complete
    the entire space frame.
    Local materials such as red sand stone and marble are used in abundance.
    High walls with no fenestration in the facade makes the building enclosed and does not
    open up to the city.
