Tourist Information Centre at Capitol Complex soon

A design was prepared by the architecture department of the UT Administration and was shown to Sharma who turned 90 on Saturday. Sharma said,“The design was not suitable so I made some changes it fir it to the Capitol Complex. Spread over 1,600 square feet,the building would be concrete like the existing building. The building would be replete with art work. Traces of Mohenjodaro art forms including figures of animals,birds,etc will adorn the walls.”

The terrace of the building would have a sitting arrangement. Grassing of the terrace has been proposed. A sculpture that has been designed by Sharma would also be constructed next to the building. This too,would be made of concrete. Chief architect Sumit Kaur said,“Sharma is actively working on the design of the building. The building would come up near the Secretariat. The construction is likely to take off soon.”

The Capitol Complex being very important,stringent security measures would be adopted. At present the permission for visiting the building can be taken from the different designated centres in the city. Many foreign architects visit the Capitol Complex to study the architecture of the building.
