13. SWOT ANALYSIS
OPPORTUNITIES:
• SPACES LIKE CONFERENCE HALLS, AUDITORIUM, MULTIPURPOSE HALLS,
EXHIBITION SPACE, ATTRACTS A GREATER NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
STRENGTHS:
• SPREAD ON A LARGE AREA I.E. [31,000 SQ.M APPROX.]
• PROPER ALLOCATION OF THE SPACES IN THE INTERIOR.
• BALANCE OF OPEN SPACES AND SEMI OPEN SPACES
WEAKNESS:
• PATHWAYS AREN’T LEADING
• NEGATIVE SPACES WHICH CAN BE UTILIZED.
THREAT:
IN CASE OF ELECTRICITY POWER-CUT THERE WILL BE A PROBLEM OF
VENTILATION AND LIGHTING FOR THE INSIDE OF THE EXHIBITION
SPACE.

14. CONCLUSION
• EXHIBITION CENTRE IS FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO BE USED
FOR A VARIETY OF EVENTS RANGING FROM CAR EXPOS
TO POLITICAL GATHERINGS, ART EXHIBITIONS ETC.
• ABUNDANCE OF NATURAL LIGHTING ENHANCES THE
SPACE.
• THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE CONNECTING THE EXHIBITION
CENTRE AND THE BUSINESS CENTRE ADDS UP TO THE
FUNCTIONALITY AND THE USER EXPERIENCE.
• THE CONVENTION CENTRE IS STRATEGICALLY LOCATED
IN A COMMERCIAL ZONE NEXT TO VASHI RAILWAY
STATION WHICH MAKES SURE THAT THE CENTRE IS
NEVER OUT OF BUSINESS.
