This design owes its genesis to Louis Kahn's Kimbell Museum in Fort
Worth, Texas, and to the school of Architecture at Chandigarh, India.
It uses the same repetitive long-span vaulted rhythms to create internal
spacial oppositions between the axial and cross-axial dynamics.
However, it
differs from the Kimbell in that the vault here has been inverted in a cross-
section reminiscent of the pages of an open book. This also creates an
intriguing wave-like form externally and a "hull"-like form internally.
