Namrata Ukani

AR2005

The site is in the old city, right behind the fortwall, next to a Ganesh Bari which is a hole in the wall. There is an existing old building and two existing trees in an unoccupied land of the site. The project is of a Human Library; where humans are the books, and they share their stories. These books that come here are often being faced with prejudices related to caste, creed, colour, sexuality, physical disability or disease. The Human Library acts as a platform through which prejudices are shattered. And to make the atmosphere light there are other functions such as a shop, cafe, event yard, coworking space and lodging.
