Abstract:
This thesis deals with the project of the redevelopment and reconstruction of the
existing Milan Mela Complex and development of a permanent international
standard exhibition complex over 22.35 acres land area equipped with both
permanent and temporary exhibition spaces which shall be open to the citizens of
Kolkata all year round. To design and develop this project, a study on the
feasibility of various long-span structures has also been conducted. Case studies
of other exhibition and conventions centers (both in India and abroad) were also
conducted to draw inferences in support of the final design outcome. The site and
the design brief were also studied thoroughly prior to commencement of the
design process.
