Framing Connections

This project seeks to restore and connect the fragmented lakefront through a carefully designed movement network that promotes ecological sensitivity and cultural vitality. It features curated pathways, ecological zones, and community spaces that facilitate smooth transitions between nature, tradition, and social interaction. Emphasizing minimal intervention, the design preserves existing habitats while enabling sustainable access and immersive experiences such as floating walkways, sensory trails, and ritualistic spaces like Kund & Ghats. By blending structured routes with exploratory trails and tranquil pause points, the project aims to create a dynamic, ecologically responsible landscape that encourages deeper engagement with the lake’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
