The Hidden Oasis

Ahmedabad has two very distinct features, The fort wall and the river.The proposal acts as a connector between the two masses and gives an identity to the space in between. Bridging the gap and bringing the people closer to the two elements.The project is a labyrinthian reintroduction of an imaginary city to the idea of embodiment.Inserted into the earth, the project seeks to bind the layers of Earth,water,sky,light and so forth. The projects aims at making one realize the tangible realities around, by constantly shifting and reorienting the view and movement. The functions don’t dictate the nature of the spaces but it is the perception of the user that can suggest the same.Thus the nature of space dictates functionality.
