The folded landscapes and the array of tanks,awaiting the coming of water ,in the scrubby landscape of  Alwar points towards the celebration of a resource that is a seasonal phenomenon. The whole system of collection and distribution being elaborate and spread out throughout the area creates a sense of awareness of not just the spatial quality of water but also water as a resource and availability.Thus through the concept of collection and distribution the Alwar water collaborative aims at creating a platform for awareness of water as a resource through spatial experience of it.This concept has also been translated architecturally through a core central courtyard as a collection point of people and intersection of functions from where a distribution occurs into smaller collection spaces or other functions.
