The Andhra Pradesh government has almost approved the designs for AP Assembly to be built in the upcoming capital of Amaravati.
A meeting comprising of Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, officials from Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA), representatives of architectural firm Foster+Partners, filmmaker SS Rajamouli, and others, was held at the Secretariat on Wednesday.
Reportedly, the Chief Minister has chosen a tower having the Assembly hall on the ground floor and other facilities above, which include space from where visitors could have a bird’s eye view of the capital region.
The CRDA officials have, however, decided to seek public’s opinion over the two designs that have been finalised. Depending on the response, the officials will zero down on the final design taking inputs from SS Rajamouli.

The government also released the videos of the two proposed designs.

Speaking to the media persons, SS Rajamouli said, “At the beginning of this exercise, I helped in documenting the aspirations of the Chief Minister, who wanted the building to be a show-piece of Indian-ness and one that reflects the richness of Telugu history and culture. Now, I provided images asked by the F+P. Otherwise, my contribution is as little as that of the squirrels in the construction of the Rama Sethu.”
