Here, the factors helping the building to win awards is that the building is well-sustained. Its uniqueness in design and modern architectural structure attracts visitors with different interests.

  3. I like the building's unique feature (translucent shimmering façade that create an impression of the centre as a "shining jewel" in the day and a "glowing lantern" at night) and I think that it will attract many people attention.

    The factors that help the building to win awards is that the designers managed to merge the traditional indian architecture with the modern architecture. The building also shows the indian culture through its design, which is the most important thing as the building is the Indian Heritage Centre.

  4. I like the architecture of the building such that it has combined traditional Indian elements with modern architecture. This will attract people who has a liking for modern architecture, as well as people who like traditional looking buildings.

    One main factor I think contributed was the architecture fitted its purpose as a heritage centre. The building's theme traditional indian culture but at the same time with a modern design and unique features that attracts people to the building. Its design is therefore aesthetically appealing as well as appropriate.
