This lifted disc- rising as a ground plane- forms the ‘doorway’ to the central void. This void as a courtyard will be the Entrance and ‘Heart’ of the building and is located on a raised ground. On this split level, the courtyard enables a visitor to orientate himself/ herself easily. The two main floors [Ground and First Floor] are clearly visible from this courtyard and the life of the building seeps through effortlessly into this courtyard.
