Sitting on the busy Sindhubhavan Road, the project weaves together various groups of people and activities culminating into a multidimensional space. With careful understanding of the existing site and context, the design revolves around a timeless garden that is meant to serve through changing functionalities as the context continues to develop rapidly without compromising the needs and desires of the existing users. The design is an attempt to cater to the contrasting groups of users and the thresholds at different edges and bringing them together into a spatial harmony. The 3 plazas that serve this purpose at each of the thresholds culminting into the garden, also acts as the entrance plaza that is reminiscent of the user group and activity that either existed previously or continue to exist in this rapidly developing context. The project also inculcates the concept of Fate and Uncertainty, as a means of educating people. It dwelves into explaining different degrees of fate of life, in a bid to develop a sense of humbleness and humility towards each other and the environment. These aspects are blended into functional spaces right from the entrance plazas to various routine programs. The project culminates as a fusion between existing activities, the utopian idea and the forethought of future
