Namma Culture

Project idea

THE BRIEF WAS TO DESIGN A CULTURAL CENTER FOR THE CITY OF BANGALORE INDIA WHERE THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY WOULD CONVERGE AND SPEND TIME FOR DIFFERENT EVENTS . SITE WAS PROVIDED. THIS WAS MY 3RD SEM PROJECT FOR BARCH COURSE .
THE CONCEPT HAD TWO PARTS TO IT PART ONE : MY EXPERIENCE OF TRAVELLING FROM THE OUTER PART OF CITY WHICH HAD RAPID UNPLANNED URBANISATION DUE TO IT CORRIDOR TO MY COLLEGE WHICH WAS IN THE MORE INNER CORE PART OF CITY I EXPERIENCED EVENTHOUGH CROWDED WITH HOUSES SHOPS OFFICES IT HAD THESE GREEN POCKETS WHICH CREATED BREATHING SPACES IN BETWEEN THE CONCRETE JUNGLE
PART 2 : OBSERVATIONAL , WHEN I TRAVELLED BY METRO THROUGH THE CITY EVENTHOUGH BEAUTIFULL THE SKYLINE WAS A CONCRETE JUNGLE WHICH REMINDED ME OF A ARTICLE BY ADITYA ASERKAR ' A CITY AND ITS ARCHITECTURE' SO THIS INSPIRED ME TO CREATE A CENTER WHICH MIMICKED THIS CONCRETE JUNGLE ESSENCE BUT ALSO LIFE THRIVING IN THE GREEN POCKETS AND HOW THIS AMALAGAMATION IS SO MUCH MORE BEUTIFULL NOT ONLY TO SEE BUT FEEL.
