It resembles the shape of an old attic space in
traditional Kerala houses employed mainly for storage
purposes.
The attic dormitory serves as the stay facility for the
delegates. The roof structure is placed over the
basement made up of CSEB bricks. The roof structure
is made of wooden logs as rafters and purlins. Old
Mangalore tiles laid over it reduce the wall area to a
minimum. Reused wooden doors are fixed using
wooden logs to the structure.

A AMPHITHEATRE
H
The land area is a hilly region sloping towards the river.
The development was planned keeping its natural
contour as it is. But the heavy rainfall and subsequent
water flow result in extensive soil erosion. So an
Amphitheater was planned in order to protect the soil
terrain. It can be used as a stair way to get down the
valley and as a seating space for various programs.
Scrap car tyres were collected from different local
shops and filled with soil inside it. The soil is filled till
the tyre becomes hard. Wood/ bamboo logs are nailed
into the tyre as support. the op surface is finished using
poured earth to convert it into a seating space.
