IT IS AN AID FOR DESIGNING.

IT CANNOT REPLACE A/AN DESIGNER’S/ARCHITECT’S

DISCRETIONARY POWER FOR PROPORTIONS.

FUNCTIONALITY SHOULD AT NO POINT BE COMPROMISED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADHEREING TO THE SCALE.

A DESIGN CAN VERY WELL BE HARMONIOUS AND AESTHETCIALLY PLEASING EVEN IF THE ‘MODULOR’ WASN’T CONSULTED WHILE DESIGNING.

A DESIGN CAN ALSO BE A FAILURE EVEN IF THE ‘MODULOR’ IS IMPLEMENTED METICULOUSLY.

SECTOR 17 WAS RESERVED IN THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND CIVIC CENTRE. A UNIFORM FOUR STOREY WAS ESTABLISHED FOR ALL THE BUILDINGS IN THE SECTOR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ‘11STOREY OFFICE BUILDING’, TO BE DESIGNED AS THE DOMINANT BUILDING AND FOCAL POINT OF THE MAIN CHOWK. EVERY COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENT IN CHANDIGARH WANTS AN ADDRESS IN SECTOR 17 , AND THUS THERE IS A CRISIS OF OFFICE SPACE IN THE CITY CENTRE, ONCE THE ELEVEN STOREY TOWER IS REALIZED, IT CERTAINLY WILL EASE OUT THE SITUATION, ALONG WITH CREATING MORE REVENUE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION AND EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE. THIS BUILDING WAS PURPOSELY KEPT ON THE CROSS JUNCTION OF THE TWO MAIN PEDESTRIAN PIAZZA TO ACT AS FOCAL POINT OF CENTER PLAZA.
