The aim was to design a climate-responsive event center with all the essential amenities for holding events. The study area lacks the necessary infrastructure and facilities, such as theaters, multipurpose function spaces, conference spaces, and gallery exhibitions, hence the decline of the region's culture. The results of the findings revealed that poor ventilation and acoustics, poor security, and high theft rates deter residents from using existing event venues. Design Philosophy: Contextualism and Sustainable Architecture Design Theory: Biophillic design and ecological architecture Design Concept: Vernacular Architecture and Bioclimatic Design Form Formative Idea: Biomorphism

The principles of subtraction and addition were used to remove and add elements such as windows for ventilation and lighting.
