The Parallel (Terrace Intervention)

This project introduces a method of connection through the unused terraces and upper floors of the pol houses. It also introduces engaging programs for the occupants as well as the visitors as the site is old city which has a very heavy footfall everyday because of the markets there. It is about having an alternate connection also giving users a unique experience and perspective of the old city.
