"From the designer"
Humankind have spent hundreds years interacting symbiotically with their natural surroundings. They started by living in natural environment; e.g under tree sheds, caves, igloos. 

Natural Environment favored mankind to live comfortable and enjoy the natural surroundings where by disconnecting them from nature made them loose the comfort, beauty and healthy environment that they used to have before. The intensive use of industrial products in indoor space created a loose connection between buildings and Natural Environment. 

There is a need to rethink on how to introduce landscape features in buildings without compromising the current lifestyle and humans need. Since natural environment has great contribution to human physicology, moods and habits; foregoing landscape features shall result in reduced comfort levels in buildings. Therefore there is a necessity of bringing in the elements of landscape into the interior of buildings so as to associate people with the natural environment. 

 

The proposed exhibition hall is a really public building which takes all the exterior features to the interiors. The building has 9 exhibition halls arranged in rectangular shape, which surround the central part. The central part is the kind of public space where all public activities are located. 

 

The exhibition halls are covered with a green waved roof to which makes the building sustainable. The central part will have restaurants, toilets, resting places etc. the central part of this structure is the place where it takes all the exterior features to the interiors.

The walkways are arranged in a grid form and sometimes in a diagonal form. This helps people to move horizontally in an easy way. All walkways surround the green spaces and fountains. There are street benches put in this place for people to rest. 

 

We always try to make toilets and hide them from people, this means we put them at the end/corner of the building, but in this building, toilet is exposed and put at the centre and it is so sexy. The walls of the toilets are aquariums which makes the toilet a good place to look, not to turn your eyes away from it. 

 

The restaurant sits on a glass floor which has fishes beneath. The restaurant also has a half circle covering on which water passes on it, so when you eat on the restaurant, it is like you are eating on a beach. That makes the whole sense of bringing the landscape (water and plants) to the interiors.
