The Project
Amidst the rush of the busy roads of Attingal, the Centropolis marks the growing culture of shopping for its urban fabric. We have tried to redefine the branding mechanisms by incorporating it into its design evolution. The planes that define the facade of the structure complements the visual axis of the users, enhancing the frontage available for the retailers. The theme adopted was hereby called ‘Time and trends’ which tried to explain how people perceived the act of buying, not just as an isolated task but also as a social occasion that forms a fragment of our culture as a whole. It is “one of the last remaining forms of public activity”. Enhancing the recreational phase of the experience, bringing in transience and translating it into the language of design is how we began our journey. Placing the notion of such ‘last forms of public activity’ to the setting, we explore the city nerves, in terms of the urban fabric, its complexities and the way people acknowledge the domain.
