Antara, which means “heart” in Sanskrit, represents an evolution that provides a guideline for urban renewal and defines the complex’s design based on an open space that breaks with conventional architectural norms for a shopping center. The layout highlights the traditional shape of a street with parallel parameters that becomes a sweeping curve, functioning as a compositional axis, locating moving water in the two courtyards that adorn each end. A promenade of shops and restaurants extends from a half-circle, prioritizing space and creating a tangible dialogue with the city while organizing the rest of the design.
