Reclaiming Space: For Teen Girls

The project was to create a women eccentric park for teen age girls. The site Kajheri village of Chandigarh has a lot of free space which are currently being used as a parking lot. This parking lot creates a lot of isolated space. The shops near the parking lot's only cater to men, thus making it a highly masculine space. Therefore, the main Idea was to reclaim the space of parking as a park for women And make it an interactive space through various urban interventions.
