Acknowledgements My work would have not been possible without the very existence of the Art in Transit project. I want to thank Amitabh, Sandeep and Sai for constantly being supportive of all of my insane ideas and helping me materialize them as well. I wouldn’t have been courageous enough to explore all these possibilities without their guidance and approach. The manner in which the course was designed as a making space was something I truly needed and they provided me with the same opportunity. I also want to thank Urvashi Jalali for the expertise she provided me with, as and when I needed it. My work wouldn’t have come alive had it not been for the brilliant renders that Ankur Kumar helped me out with. It’s the visualization of my designs which has made my project what it is now. I am also grateful for the presence of all my close friends who have been there to give me valuable inputs and helped me in my difficult times, especially my PSD friends. I would like to thank the entire team of Art in Transit for helping with the making and all the other jobs that required assistance at the metro station. Kindness and gratitude for the Namma Metro staff as well as the lovely people at Feet off Ground. A big thank you to all of you!
Project Proposal Submitted Proposal Successful public spaces are the response to rapid urban development in cities, the built fabric that has eaten into spaces that provide opportunities for community building and growth. There are several different arguments that establish the importance and necessity of public spaces in today’s time. As more and more people are slowly realizing this intrinsic truth, public spaces are going on to define the cultural and social identity of a place as well. A successful public space will not only bring together people but does good for people on an individual level as well. This is more so the case when the public spaces in use are woven in as part of people’s daily routines. Public spaces that are part of the transit systems thus become an exciting avenue for opportunities and to make interventions that may bring about a positive change in the way people experience these spaces.
Cubbon Park is an expansive green space that lies in the heart of the city of Bangalore. A space as such around a huge market, a stadium, government and corporate buildings serves as a respite from the fast paced and busy lives the people lead in the city. The Cubbon Park metro station thus serves as an important connective point in order for people to get to different places around and Cubbon Park itself. As a central station for the city in terms of transit, the Cubbon Park metro station possesses a lot of opportunities in terms of its interaction with the public that makes use of this metro station. As a research question, I would like to find out how can the experiences of the users at the Cubbon Park metro station be enhanced by making interventions which also contribute to building its identity as a one of its kind metro stations in the city.
As a public space design student, I have always been interested in people and places and their interaction with the built environment within the spaces that they occupy. Having worked on several theoretical projects involving designing systems and spaces within a public space, I wanted some experience in working on a project that assumes tangible form within a public space. Art in Transit provided the opportunity for me to explore the makers’ space instead of just the planners in order to achieve hands on experience within a live and dynamic public space- Cubbon Park.
The Festival of Stories, February edition provided me the opportunity to respond to site by making my first intervention at the Cubbon Park metro station, which was a climbing passage to go up the Chinnaswamy Stadium exit of the metro station. The climbing passage makes use of a dead space and allows for an alternative means of moving up to the exit. The climbing passage has been designed in a fairly simple manner that allows young children and other able persons to use it. This intervention also ensures that the people who use this passage directly engage with the space using their bodies. The climbing passage causes a disruption in terms of the conventional manner of linear body movements followed by users on a staircase, elevator or an escalator at the metro station. It also evokes a sense of playfulness among the users by engaging the human instinct to climb, especially for young children.
The next part of my project will focus on other ways to intervene within the space in order to find ways to build on the Cubbon Park metro station’s identity as a unique station. Also possibly look at ways in which the overhead exits of the station may be connected by visual means in order for people to bring about this connect, or in ways by which the surrounding spaces can be activated in order to draw attention to and build the identity of the station as a landmark space in Bangalore City. This may be done through systems design, or curating the outdoor spaces. There is also the idea of ‘play’ that has emerged from the various interventions at the Cubbon Park metro station in terms of light, illusions and body movements. To see how more such elements can be incorporated in the form of spatial interventions and public art, practices and all these can perhaps address a larger theme for the station.
REPURPOSING [meaning: to adapt for use in a different purpose]
Repurposing Spaces Project Proposal The scale and pace of development in a metropolitan city provides exciting opportunities for community building. Public spaces have the potential to shape the cultural and social identities of a city and its people. A successful public space will bring people together while adding value on an individual level as well. This is more so in the case of public spaces that are woven into daily routines.
The Cubbon Park station of Namma Metro, a crucial central transit point for people of Bangalore, afforded me the opportunity of working on a project that assumes tangible form within a public space after having worked on theoretical public space design projects. Art in Transit allowed me to explore and experience the perspectives of both planner and maker in a live and dynamic public space.
As a public space design student, I am deeply interested in influencing people and their interaction with the spaces they occupy. Cubbon Park, a historical lung space of Bangalore, serves as a respite from the fast paced and busy lives the people lead in its vicinity. t Transit systems serve as exciting avenues for interventions in public spaces that may bring about a positive change in the way people experience and physically engage with such a space on a daily basis.
As my research question, I would like to find out how the experiences of the users at the Cubbon Park metro station can be enhanced by making interventions which also contribute to building its identity as a one of its kind metro stations in the city. Also, I would like to do this by repurposing spaces at the Cubbon Park Metro Station by putting to use dead or unused spaces by means of proposing a better function for the said space. Thus, my project is essentially about repurposing spaces at the Cubbon Park Metro Station, to transform them into spaces that provide the public with a more enhanced and worthwhile experience of that public space .
Reflective Statement Why Art in Transit? For my final thesis project, I wanted to be involved in the process of making, which is an opportunity that I felt Art in Transit could provide me with. As a spatial design student at Srishti, most of the projects that I worked on involved ideation, planning and conceptualizing, which are essential tools involved in the design process that lead to its execution. However, most of my projects are hypothetical in nature and are only executed on paper. I have never done a site-specific project that has materialized in any capacity. This I felt was necessary for me to have as an experience as it would give me a more realistic picture of how I can work through the design challenges that an actual site presents. Having no prior fixed context for the project was the first challenge that I was faced with once I took up this project. Having to decide and work on framework for myself within the project that goes hand in hand with my practice was a task. My first intervention at the Cubbon Park Metro Station set the tone for the theme of my larger project, an intervention that was purely instinctual. I have my incredibly supportive faculty and the well thought-out immersion exercises to thank for the same. I couldn’t have ever imagined seeing that executed. This in a way motivated me to continue my project and propose design interventions that served in a wider capacity to the context of Art in Transit. As much as I wanted to work on something more meaningful for the space, I would admit that this created an added sense of pressure on me and affected my creative abilities. My focus moved from creative design solutions to functionality based interventions. It took me a while to get my act together but I was happy to go back to more creative ways of thinking about spaces and context driven outputs, taking inspiration from the surroundings rather than looking in places elsewhere. I am glad to have had people around me who have guided me in the right direction when I needed it most and supported me through the course of this project. I was provided with valuable feedback and inputs that helped me reflect on my approach towards the project and I am grateful for that.
Art in Transit Project Brief Art in Transit is a project by the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology. Acknowledging the rapid pace of growth, movement, and development in Bangalore, Art in Transit facilitates a dialogue between people and the urban spaces they inhabit. These conversations stimulate a range of meaningful artistic interventions in spaces of transience. The project creates a platform for diverse voices in contemporary public art practice to converge within the rich urban context of Bangalore.
Site Context Cubbon Park Metro Station It is at the Cubbon Park Metro Station where the Art in Transit projects for this semester have been installed. Cubbon Park Metro station is an underground station on the Purple Line of the Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. It was opened to the public on 30 April 2016. The station lies in the heart of Bangalore City and is located a few metres away from one of the main entrances to Cubbon Park.
Immersion Exercises
Exercise A Make something entirely on impulse. No context, no meaning. What does it say about your practice? Cubbon Park Visit 1- It was on this first visit that we were introduced to the context of the third edition of Festival of Stories that was to going to happen on the 18-19 February. This festival was coinciding with the Neralu Festival, a crowd funded festival that celebrates the tress of Bangalore. Neralu in Kannnada means ‘shade’. This was my first observant visit to Cubbon Park and what stood out for me were the eagles that hovered, the dry leaf bed that pretty much covered the entire ground surface and the brown shade the scenery projected as a whole. Also the entrance to Cubbon Park being the window between silence and a busy city street right outside was an enticing transition for me. It was almost like an escape from the concrete jungle to a world full of trees. The piece I created was something I genuinely loved making and it reflected on a few aspects of my past projects and the idea of craft in terms of working with paper- something that I effortlessly enjoy doing. This piece deals with shadows, color and sunlight with a paper structural form made to stand using wires. The projection of the blue and yellow colored shadow on rotation in sunlight through the paper cut in a pattern provided a sense of satisfaction to me. This is me and what I like to do.
Exercise B Walk around Cubbon Park as a class in a radial fashion, recording audio clips while walking. Exchange with a fellow classmate and imagine the sounds in a visual form to create something. This class activity made me aware of the little happening in and around Cubbon Park that I may have deemed insignificant otherwise or not significant enough for my brain to actively take note of. The rustling of dry leaves on the ground, the street vendor preparing things for his customers, the loud and noisy truck with heavy equipment being parked on the roadside and the bamboo trees singing a song of their own with the breeze in the most subtle manner. To visualize these sounds recorded by somebody else and not fully knowing what they are was a challenging task that I was eager to take on. More so because of the non-literal sense of this activity which I thought gave me lots of freedom to explore my internal process in the matter that I was looking forward to. The output for this activity was apiece that I called ‘Assortment Of The Voices In My Head’ which was a representation of exactly that- the voices in my head when I went through the audio clip. My focus was drawn to the level of attention I gave to certain aspects in the audio clip that resonated with familiarity in those voices, of knowing what it was. The piece is a box filled with several cylindrical tubes that will make distinct sounds when you shake themsome loud and clear, some a little muffled and maybe something where you hear nothing. Each tube was designed to produce a different sound, to link it to the voices in my head while I was analyzing the audio clip. What do the voices in your head say while you are reading this?
Exercise C Take the images of the coolant at Minsk Square and recreate it while imagining it with a different form, structure or purpose, with no bars on possibilities. We had a guest talk by Ms. Amita Sinha Mahapatra. Amita Mahapatra comes from a music loving family of Bishnupur, west Bengal. She was initiated in to music by her parents and encouraged by them to become a dhrupad singer. She did her masters in music (Hindustani Classical Vocal) from Visva Bharati University, Shanti Niketan in West Bengal. She came and spoke to our class about the origin of Dhrupad music, which is an ancient form of Indian cultural music and was at its peak in the 15 & 16 century. The emphasis is Dhrupad music is on the purity of the ragas (microtones). Post this session we were given out our next assignment.
I took into account the existing function of the coolant at Minsk Square in terms of its location and placement. It is in the middle of a few intersections in the heart of the city. The people viewing the space are the passersby in the vehicles mostly. So what is it that I can do to effectively have that respond to the site in the quick time that they have while crossing the coolant at Minsk Square- make them see something. And what they see needs to be in contrast to what they are around according to me. The people traveling are around vehicles in traffic, in the city around buildings and concrete forms. Thus, I’d want them to see a holographic projection of some glowing element of nature that is calming to see, even if for those few seconds in which they inhabit the space around the coolant in the middle of other cars.
DiSCoMfOrt
Exercise D Work in pairs and pick an emotion as a theme. Build on each other’s output and add to or work on different outputs in tandem with the other person to complement each other. I worked together with Prathmi Mehta on this assignment. We picked ‘discomfort’ as our theme of choice to work with. Rather than metaphorically portraying a visual element that may seem uncomfortable, we wanted our audience to first-hand experience the feeling of discomfort. Also, we noted the two possible types of discomfort a person can feel and through two different outputs, we wanted them to experience both: physical as well as mental or internal discomfort. For the former, we played an incredibly loud and screechy audio clip that would cause the people in the room to experience physical discomfort on hearing that. We caused them internal discomfort by providing a questionnaire to them that was mandatory to answer and contained private and as some found, unacceptable to answer to someone else.
Tilted Arc, 1981 Richard Serra We had a reading in class that talked about Richard Serra’s ‘Tilted Arc’ that was a site-specific sculpture that was commissioned by the by the United States General Services Administration Arts-in-Architecture program for government buildings. The Tilted Arc was a 12-foot-tall, 120-foot-long, 15-ton steel slab that cut across Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan. It was Serra’s response to the site and he wanted people to experience the sculpture in a physical manner and not just view it as an art piece. The Tilted Arc was supposed to be a permanent piece. It was the manner in which the massive structure occupied the space in the plaza made it a jarring experience for most users of the space. It became a controversial piece against which collected signatures were taken down to have it removed. It was Serra’s personal piece drawn out of his response to site but it did not work for the actual users of that space. This leads us to think- Do we see public art differently than art, and who is it for? For an artist as a reflection of his practice or is it for the public, having some social responsibility towards the public viewing the art?
Site Exploration
First Site Visit Initial Iterations for on-site Interventions We were taken on a guided tour of the Cubbon park metro station by our facilitator, Amitabh Kumar in order to spring up with ideas for on-site interventions for the upcoming February edition of Festival of Stories. There were certain places of interest at different locations at the metro station that stood out for me and I immediately jotted down those ideas as my first instincts, a practice carried out on the first immersion exercise.
Climbing Passage Project Brief Elevators, escalators and staircases are the only means of getting to higher ground at the Cubbon Park metro station for the passengers in transit. The larger intent behind this climbing installation is to introduce the idea of ‘play’ among passengers while in transit. The installation also provides an alternative, more engaging and fun way for users to exit the metro station premises by activating the human instincts to climb that is present in all human beings. This installation also aims at achieving a disruption of the usual flow of actions encountered by users when in transit at a metro station. The idea of interactivity and play while climbing in this installation has especially been designed for young children, but is a delight for all able persons. The installation comprises of a fairly simple climbing route created using wooden climbing holds for users to find their way up to the top.
Climbing Passage Project Initiation When taken on the tour of the metro station, the spaces that caught my eye were the ones around the Chinnaswamy stadium exit, indoors as well as outdoors. I found the exit airy and spacious, and with an underlying scope for more to happen. The exit has an existing mural by the Serbian artist, Artez. The mural is on both sides and the composition consists of leaves, branches, people and monkeys and gives out a slight feeling of being in the wild. There were two vacant escalator passages on either sides of the staircase- something that I had never seen and I found it those slope passages so intriguing. Having been a former wall climber, climbing is something that I still thoroughly enjoy and my hardwired instinct to climb from childhood had kicked in when I saw the escalator slope. Why climb up the stairs or take the elevator when I can climb up a slope which will make my transit fun and challenging and faster too. This was one of the ideas I had and as much as it excited me, it also seemed uncertain because I haven’t come across any such installation at a metro station. This also presents a new opportunity for the Cubbon Park metro station to have undiscovered facets of spatial design be explored within the metro station vicinity that add to the dynamism of its transit system and builds upon the unique identity for the station through the Art in Transit project. I was extremely elated on being given the green signal for this as this was something I was very keen on doing and really looked forward to.
Climbing Passage Process & Ideation The following steps were taken to accomplish the climbing passage installation: Site selection Site measurements Research & reading Iterations for site Material requirement Locating fabricators Project budgeting Installation on site

Visualizations
Field Study & Fabricators
The first place I visited in order to find out more about how to go about my project was Equilibrium: The Climbing Station, which is located in Indiranagar and is in fact three stops away from the Cubbon Park metro station. Mr. Mahanta there helped me understand the possible need and requirement for my climbing passage installation and offered to help with the fabrication for the same as well.
The next place as part of my field study was the Sri Kanteerava Stadium which is located at a distance of about two kilometers from the Cubbon park metro station. Kanteerava stadium has a state-level climbing wall in an outdoor space. Here too I got insights on possible budgeting and material requirement scenarios for the climbing passage.
I also got in touch with the people at Feet off Ground through an online retail website for sourcing the climbing holds since these don’t come cheap. Mr. Prashant and Mr. Aalok met us at the metro station for site analysis in order to give us their costing. I chose Feet off Ground as my choice for fabrication of the installation because it was an all-in-one solution that they offered me. They were going to source materials and install the same, and all in a night’s time. This was very crucial since I was time bound before the first festival and had only a few days on my hand to get this done. Also, Feet off Ground specializes in building climbing walls and play pens and their expertise in the field was necessary to make up for what I didn’t know. What really made me keen on working with them was their approach to their work. They too seemed environmentally conscious and suggested the use of wooden climbing holds, which were available only with them. Thus, we went ahead with the people at Feet off Ground.

New Site Selection Possible Sites for Intervention After I was done with my first installation, I had to move towards building my project further and scout for more sites to have interventions at. I was not certain of what I was going to do but I knew that I wanted to work around the outdoor exits of the Cubbon park metro station for my next intervention and not underground. Through my intervention, I was again looking at repurposing either a dead space or look at the redevelopment of a space for better use. The idea of using an overhead site only for my intervention was riding on the fact that I felt that the Cubbon park metro station had so many things going on underground but it was only for people who were using the station as a means of transit were aware about. What about the people who were constantly passing over or walking around above the underground station. How do you get them to see a glimpse of what might just be happening inside the station. How can I then introduce some intervention outside that makes people aware of the Art in Transit projects at the station in a more capacitated manner? Some design intervention outside in the public space would also more inviting and more people may be able to have access to it since the metro station is essentially a semi-private space.
Spatial Thinking Tracing Paper Exercise Moving ahead with my project, I had several overhead spaces to work with as possibilities but I was not clear on what to do within those spaces. In order to deal with this situation and continue with the project, my faculty suggested I do a ‘tracing paper drawing exercise’. For this, I took ten images of the spaces around the overhead exits of the metro station from different vantage points. Post this, I was supposed to place sheets of tracing paper on prints of those ten images and draw out anything and everything that I could think of having out there in those space as site interventions. Of course, those had to have some meaning and relevance to my practice. I was feeling at a standstill until this point and this exercise helped me loosen up and think a bit more in terms of what I could be doing next. Once I was done with my tracing paper drawings, certain themes that stood out as a collection were what I worked on some more. By the end of this activity I still wasn’t completely sure of what I wanted to do but it definitely helped me zero down on my site on possibly what I was looking for in that space in terms of its use and function as a public space.
Tracing Paper Exercise
Refined Drawings
New Site Selection Finalizing Site Selection By the end of the tracing paper exercise I was sure that I wanted to work with the overhead space between the C and D entrance of the Cubbon park metro station. This space was ideal as it had great potential to be repurposed into something better. The space was currently not being used for much except as a parking spot at one end and a walking passage for commuters to get to their destinations. The space offered a lot of scope in terms of redevelopment for better use as a public space around the metro station, Cubbon Park as well as the surrounding areas. Thus, I decided that I wanted to work within this space as the rest of my project. This space was also very interesting as it was in the middle of two very distinct architectural structures- the modern design of the metro station exits and the old, colonial style architecture of the telegraph house that sat right next to the metro station exits. This is also in the backdrop of the Grand Post Office building, the BSNL building, the Charles Correa building and the coolant at Minsk square. And with not much happening within this space, I felt it was an exciting space to work with and put to better use by means of a design proposal for the given space.
Site Analysis
Site Analysis Context Analysis As mentioned earlier as well, the site is situated in close proximity to the State Legislature buildings, the High Court, the Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, the Shivajinagar Market and the Central Business District. The site is in between an interesting juxtaposition of old and modern architectural forms. Within the site, the D-entrance of the metro station has cropped up right in front of the beautiful arches of the Telegraph House. The Telegraph House earlier had telegraph machines until technology put them out of order in 2013. The metro station at Cubbon park serves as an important transit point to nearby destinations in the vicinity and arose to facilitate connectivity to these areas.
Site Analysis Need Analysis To ascertain what all would be relevant to have in this space, I performed a need analysis for this particular space to gain insights into what might be necessary to have within this space. Apart from sitting in the space and silently observing pedestrian movement and use within the space, I also spoke to passers-by to gain more inputs. The following two needs were ascertained as most crucial for this space: A- Seating: This is the spot where people usually wait for autos or cabs and have to throughout the time they wait as there is no provision for seating in this space. B- Shade: Even for people who don’t mind standing while waiting or have to wait for a very short time period, shade becomes crucial when the sun is harsh in the day. C- Food & Beverage: From talking to people, some did mention the possible need for a food outlet in that space.

Inspired Design
TED Talk Amanda Burden With my work in the past, I have mostly done space planning for my projects. Landscaping for such a space was a fairly fresh task for me. The space I had to design is a just off the road and with Cubbon Park being at such close proximity, I had to ask myself the question- How do I design this space so that people come can come use and be in that space? My go-to inspiration for this question to look for possible answers was the TED talk video by Amada Burden on ‘How public spaces make cities work’. I was introduced to this TED talk by another faculty in one of my previous project class. Burden talks about public spaces, human interaction and the need and design for successful public spaces and breaks it down in the simplest manner. For the record, Amanda Burden is a Principal at Bloomberg Associates, an international consulting service founded by Michael Bloomberg as a philanthropic venture to help city governments improve the quality of life of their citizens. She served as the New York City Planning Commissioner from 2002-2013. As Commissioner, she spearheaded the largest planning effort in the city since 1961, initiating comprehensive rezoning plans for 124 neighborhoods – almost 40% of the city – and catalyzing significant new housing opportunities in diverse communities throughout New York City’s five boroughs. A champion of design excellence, Ms. Burden emphasized community consensus-building to improve the city’s streetscape, reclaim the waterfront, and create dynamic public spaces including the East River Esplanade and the High Line.
Furniture Design Repurposing Cable Reel Holders There were a set of cable reel holders that were lying unused on the platform at the Cubbon park metro station. Given my theme was repurposing, I thought they were great instruments in being repurposed as furniture pieces for the outdoor space that I was proposing to redevelop. Apart from just relevance to the subject of repurposing, my design for the seating was also inspired from the arches in the faรงade of the Telegraph House. The arches for me stood out from day one and I wanted to incorporate elements from the Telegraph House to design the space around the entrances of the metro station in order to fuse the fluid forms and the sharper edges of the two structures that coexist within that space. At present the entrances of the metro station have overshadowed the Telegraph House and this was an attempt to highlight and bring back the focus to it while complementing the metro station. The furniture pieces designed have been used as part of the design proposal.
