The AUDA auditoriums are an upcoming initiative by the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), proposed at two locations, Bopal and Naroda, both of which are rapidly developing suburbs in Ahmedabad. The auditorium at Bopal is located close to an important interconnecting road, the SP Ring Road, at Shela, and the auditorium at Naroda is located in Kathwada. Proposed for the occupancy of 1000 seats, the auditoriums are an initiative to strengthen the dissemination of art and culture in the city. Having diverse experience in state and national level public architecture projects, the design for the auditoriums is undertaken by HCP.
With similar requirements and design strategies, projects at both locations comprise of a main, double-height auditorium with balcony seating. A wide entrance plaza opens into a double-height foyer, leading to the auditorium. Adjacent to the auditorium are two multi-purpose halls for approximately 450 people: one on the ground floor, and another on the first floor. Service spaces like toilets, a kitchen for the multi-purpose hall, and other maintenance and administration spaces are resourcefully incorporated into the design, ensuring effective and wide-ranging functionality. Exposed concrete is used in combination with red Agra stone cladding as the main façade material.
