PRINCIPLES OF ARCHITECTURE
LINES: The elevation is composed of imposing straight lines both
horizontally and vertically which balance out the composition and
gives the building a mighty appearance despite the site area constraints.
Lines are also a prominent feature in the interior of the buildings, which
can be observed in the form of triple heighted spaces, linear stretches
of stairways, column, exposed beam network, jali patterns,
overhangs, pergolas etc.
