The program for the Community Centre explores sensitizing the people of Gandhipuram to the catchment areas on either side of the ridge by providing a space of reflection and recreation by adding this complex to an existing water body.Many traditional structures that allowed the community to engage with itself historically are referenced and are a part of the brief such as a stepped bath, a Kalari Hall, a Reading Room and a Community Hall.  The structural derivations are used to develop space and are placed on a plinth next to the water body to create the complex.
