ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
Times Square imparts a totally new definition to architecture by using natural air and avoiding the use of
artificial cooling systems. Breaking away from the age-old philosophy and concept of a mall as a conventional
glass building with no play of forms, the architect accommodates an abstract use of jaali work as an elevation
feature with a dynamic built form where the building facade changes at every viewing angle.
Hoardings solve the purpose by acting as a second sun screen apart from being a decorative element in the
building; imbibed in the niches of metal jaalis. The team intended to add a very distinct element from history;
the jaalis that envelope the building have been redefined to make a simple yet artistically bold statement.
The façade is interwoven with all the characteristics of an iconic marvel which are responsive to its
environment. The jaali that acts as a double skin not only elevates the hoardings but also protects the building
from the heat of the sun by cooling the air that passes through
ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
The idea worked across scales to doubly awe visitors with vast spaces and welcome them with measures of
comfort. In following, coherence and hierarchy were critical to the mall's planning.
The architects have delivered a highly sustainable and viable contemporary built-form which is enhanced by
their capability to engage themselves right from the initial phase of the project.
The stepped terraces add extra area to each floor, thereby increasing the saleable areas and acting as
recreational spaces. At smaller scales, architectural details provide a visual dynamism that extends through
each of the mall's spaces
It is interwoven with all characteristics of an iconic marvel which are responsive to its environment.
Vastu Considerations have played a very important role in the design process.
•The rising and dynamic form of the mall places its highest point on the south, adhering to Vastu analysis.
• The placements of various functions within the commercial building have also been planned as per the
client's vastu requirements.
. it is aptly placed around the administrative buildings in the vicinity serving as a landmark and a turning point for
the otherwise structured building envelopes.
