The use of ornamentation allows us to avoid looking for form such that ornament becomes the figure and an empty sign capable of generating unlimited number of resonances. The chosen site for re-adaptation through lens of ornamentation is the dilapidated power plant in Vikhroli, Mumbai owned by Godrej. The proposed design is to convert it into a hub of Indian Industrialization. I have started with deriving a kit of ornaments. The final outcome in response to the site, uses these ornaments to derive a form to fulfil the purpose and render it a function all the while making it aesthetic.
