This memorial honors Dhyan Chand, an extraordinary athlete whose achievements in hockey earned him global acclaim and legendary status. The design concept re ects the journey and evolution of hockey, drawing inspiration from its historical rise and Dhyan Chand's path to greatness. The building form takes on a rising curve, symbolizing the ascent of the sport and shaped to echo a hockey stick, connecting the structure to the spirit of the game.
Sand Floor - No Opening Grass Floor - Perforation
Concrete Floor - Jalli
Smooth Floor - Glazing
The architecture re ects struggle and triumph through ooring—from sand to grass, rough concrete to smooth—and walls that progress from closed to jali, then open, echoing Dhyan Chand’s path to greatness.

CONVENTION CENTRE
The convention center design is guided by a principle of axial movement, using intersecting cross shapes to organize the building layout. Spaces are thoughtfully allocated to manage crowd ow e ectively: exhibition halls, a convention hall, and an auditorium occupy the ground oor, optimized for high-tra c events.
The rst oor hosts meeting rooms and a grand ballroom, catering to smaller gatherings and upscale functions, while suite rooms and larger meeting spaces are positioned on higher levels. O ce spaces are also on the ground oor to ensure smooth crowd movement.

SUMMARY OF STUDY :
This comprehensive research delved into the nuanced realm of students' attitudes towards indoor spaces within college campuses. Through a meticulous quasi-experimental approach, the study scrutinized various spaces including studios, lecture halls, and courtyards, aiming to decipher the factors underpinning students' comfort and satisfaction. Employing sophisticated techniques like space syntax analysis, the research unearthed insights into the layout and spatial dynamics of these areas. Furthermore, microclimate conditions were meticulously evaluated through simulations anv d readings, shedding light on their impact on students' experiences.
Observations of students' behaviors and preferences, coupled with data gleaned from questionnaires, provided invaluable insights into their needs and expectations. The findings underscored a noteworthy correlation between environmental conditions and space utilization patterns, highlighting the pivotal role of elements such as visual appeal and spatial configuration in shaping students' interactions with indoor spaces.
Ultimately, the research sought to establish practical guidelines for the design of more conducive indoor environments within college campuses. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation, this study aimed to enhance the quality of indoor spaces and foster an environment conducive to learning and holistic development.
