DESIGN COMPETITION- ANDC AT GHAZIABAAD, U.P., INDIA The aim of the project was to recognize a neglected public space which have the potential to be used for the welfare of people. Such spaces are often a result of low-maintenance and can become an area of criminal activities soon if not recognized timely. If not Such a space was found amidst one of the crowded markets of Ghaziabad city. Upon Surveys from the locals, it was found that the busy market was lack of any central sitting space to relax among the shopping tours. The selected site was encroached and the only entrance was blocked. After given much thought, the site was re-developed by using primarily eco-friendly materials like stone and bamboo and waste materials like metal scrap. It was a group project and my scope of work ranged from conceptualizing to final execution along with my team of 6 participants.

SITE LOCATION
SITE & SURROUNDINGS: The site is located in the old city of Ghaziabad which is often thronged with people meeting their shopping needs for different commodities. Ghanta ghar market is one favorite shopping destination among the natives.
