The building will house a fashion show space, exhibition areas for ancient artifacts and clothes, a textile lab, fashion workshop, cafe, and classrooms. The design integrates historical elements with contemporary interventions, emphasizing transparency, light, and the seamless blending of old and new. This approach breeds immersive experience, honoring the temple’s heritage while accommodating modern functions.
