AR3016

To design an 'akhada' space, as a product of highly specific site responses. This includes response to the community, the demography of the people (socio-economic, age, gender etc) and the environment. Once built, the akhada must also act as a link between the community, and the gated/ monumental water body (The Asarwa Lake), whose redevelopment has alienated it from its original users.
