Bamboo craft centre

The project aims at creating a bamboo craft centre at Pakwan circle, SG highway. The design focuses on migrants who live under the flyover and have been practicing the handicraft for a very long time. The proposed design allows seasonal migrants from Rajasthan who are engaged with bamboo craft to work and sell their products on the site itself. The design was proposed by understanding the migratory movements and patterns of the migrants. The design focuses on one of the needs identified during site analysis.
