AP206.S1.1987.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for new structures and upgrades to the Mysore Dasara Exhibition complex in Mysuru, India in 1987. It should be noted that the previous name of Mysuru was Mysore. The project consisted of upgrades to the existing exhibition grounds to create permanent infrastructure for the annual festivities. The client, Karnataka Exhibition Authority, asked architects to design a general layout for the site including pavilions, administrative offices, restaurants, kiosks, parking, amusements and theatres, among many others. A new entrance gate was also emphasized in the competition guidelines. The project is recorded through drawings of the site, gate and museum dating from around 1987 and correspondence dating from 1987.
