It is a cultural center that hosts various events like plays, concerts, exhibitions and conferences. The complex contains galleries, restaurants, an auditorium and landscaped outdoor spaces. It was designed to segregate pedestrian and vehicular movement with level changes and connected buildings to create courtyards throughout.
