Bangalore city is located at the edge of the Cauvery basin. As the cities’ water resources deplete, the city is forced to extend its dependence on the Cauvery river basin’s natural resources. Researching water scarcity, pollution, supply, and water infrastructure in Bangalore, this speculative project is aimed to express architecture as a polysemous language that negotiates between reality and imagination.
The current lake system in Bangalore is being polluted due to the inadequate policy and uses. Water distribution within the city is gentrified and is causing inequality in disconnected communities. The abandoned water tank is used as a signifier, framing people’s cultural habits. The lake is seen as a commonwealth and a socio-ecological landscape that brings the community together.
