CRITICAL REGIONALISM IS AN APPROACH TO ARCHITECTURE THAT STRIVES TO COUNTER THE PLACELESSNESS AND LACK OF IDENTITY OF THE INTERNATIONAL STYLE, BUT ALSO REJECTS THE WHIMSICAL INDIVIDUALISM AND ORNAMENTATION OF POST MODERN ARCHITECTURE. THIS FACILITY IS DESIGNED IN A WAY TO EXPRESS ITS IDENTITY THROUGH THE REGIONAL ELEMENTS AND THE LOCAL MATERIAL USED IN IT. THIS BUILDING IS A GOOD MIX OF INDIGENOUS AND MODERN ARCHITECTURE OF THE SOUTH ASIAN REGION.e.g THE REGIONAL ELEMENTS ARE JHAROKHA, ROSHANDANS, VERANDAS, AND THE MAJOR COURTYARDS. IN THIS BUILDING ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS ARE DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT THEY SERVE THEIR REGIONAL IDENTITY WHILE THEY HAVE MANY OTHER USES, LIKE JHAROKHA ARE ACTING AS THE BALCONIES AS WELL AS THE SHADING DEVICES, COURTYARDS ARE SERVING AS THE CLEAN, GREEN RECREATIONAL AREA WHICH SERVES AS AN INTERACTIONAL SPACE. THE DESIGN APPROACH IS TO INFUSE THE ARCHITECTURE WITH NATURE, SO THAT THE NATURE CREEPS THROUGH THE BUILDING, THE COURTYARDS ARE ALSO SERVING AS THE NATURAL NODE WITH THE INDIGENOUS TREES, SMALL SITTING POCKETS, SO IT DEVELOPS A RELATION BETWEEN HUMAN, NATURE & ARCHITECTURE.
