Rebuilding the Urban Myriad

The project Rebuilding the Urban Myriad is a relook at the current state of the site Kamala Mills. It envisions the site as an intersection of diverse user groups, land uses and nuanced needs each stakeholder uniquely possesses. The project re-imagines the interaction between built, open, and edges with the overarching aim to bind the site together through the public realm. It uses regulations as a tool to appropriate the vision into physical possibilities.
