Ideas Scattered In a Garden

 The project aims to create a space which helps to dissolve the metaphorical boundaries of caste and imagined poverty between the Loving Community and its neighbours. The idea is to create a space which is an attraction, and in that sense a landmark for the area, and therefore allow people from various walks of life to come together. Therefore, the creation of a garden, a green space on land that the community can take ownership of and a Library (amongst other things), which is aimed at the youth of the community who need space to learn, study and grow.
