| Open air theatre for 3000 | |
The idea for an open air amphitheatre located as a part of the ITM campus in Gwalior, started more of a performance arena at an institutional level. The site offered an undulation of levels on the three sides forming a clear valley for us to make the amphitheatre bowl sit well within.
The Challenge was posed by the client to complete the project within 55 days tp mark the starting of a symposium and a visit by the President of India then. After that it took us more than 600 hrs on the drawing board and more than 450 laborers working day and night to accomplish the job well within time.
The cantilevered steel ‘Piano’ roof truss was custom designed as an artistic gesture to lighten the solidity of the entire form, provide a cover for the performing artists and hang sound and light equipment for a show.
