(PROJECT SUMMARY)

Sharing public space for culture & nature. An arts and community center in a reused colonial godown with a new extension wing. For the human, the vegetation seems as if it has always been there and nonchalant.  The landscape extends existing bat habitats among the ficus trees, as well as a new refuge node for the secondary forest nearby. A swale forcefully cracks through the pavements, for monsoon rain to pass through.
