Convention Centre, Ujjain

Abstract

Development of Convention Centers are increasingly being acknowledged by their role in simulating local economics and improving quality of life of Nations’ citizen. Conference and business tourism are very important sector of the global tourism industry. Twenty First Century Convention centers are constructed and promoted by sponsorship of Global Tourism Industry, MICE (Meetings Incentives Conventions and Exhibitions). The proposed convention center is located in Ujjain which is one of the oldest cities of Madhya Pradesh. This convention center is proposed by Ujjain Smart City Limited under the Smart City Mission for Ujjain City. The site is currently been used for open conventions and exhibitions with tents and other temporary structures with lack of necessary amenities which is one of the major reasons for development of Convention Centre. The design thesis aims to design a Conventional Centre accommodating required number of users with adequate space. The proposed Convention Centre is designed as the iconic building for the city. The main concept for this design is divided into six parts i.e.; context, landscape, sustainability, structure, building materials and building function with appropriate services and circulation. All these factors are applied in proposed design to enhance the user experience and contributing to the environment. The overall scheme of the proposed design is to give Ujjain an iconic building fulfilling all requirements and amenities. The aesthetics of design merge with classical Ujjain architecture and modern architecture.
