IDEA:
My idea is to integrate the key elements of Indian and Sri lankan temple complexes, into the embassy, as an informant of the commonalities of both cultures. Under this premise, the idea of a cross axes and a sense of increasing hierarchy (from public to private) along the above mentioned axis.
Upon applying this to site context, an immediate axis formed is the visual connect to the lake. Another evident axis that was evolved stemmed from the idea of reviving the site’s only cultural marker- the regal theatre, thereby creating a direct link, which in turn becomes a pedestrian access.
The concept of allowing pedestrian movement through a high security embassy by guiding them to the lake has become my pivotal concept.
