SELECTED

Objectives

Transform the barren and under - developed area never the high tension lines Activate the area by promoting pedestrian movement Creating a space that provide opportunities for social interac-

Proposal

The high tension cable area near the dewar conser vation site is barren This area has the potential to become a negative space, such spaces should not exist in any community, especially communities that cater to families with children

A street market where people can turn their hobbies into business they can engage in potter y, embroider y, mirror work, etc Homemakers who have home garden can sell their produce here, arts can exhibits their work.

it is multiuser space that changes according to the different activities that take place ans also acts a center for community development.

Community Centers

The inter vention area acts as a meeting place for both locals and expats The main concept was to create a community area for the people, thereby increasing the walkability in the zones denoted by the dotted circles

These community area are centered around mosques which are frequent visited by Muslims throughout the day, based on a study, seating area are placed at a suitable distance to cater to people visiting the shop after prayer, ti also aims to renovate parks which are found near mosques

The revitalization of Sassoon Docks is an important project for the city of Mumbai that will preser ve the cultural value of the area and help continue to sustain numerous fishermen The design concept is derived from the ocean itself. The design portrays the liquidity and fluidity of the waves and is thus made up of free flowing sur faces and is extended further into the landscape design as well

The buildings and landscape design is fluid in terms of the shape and façade and is organic to bind the built environment with the natural environment It is also befitting since the area in consideration is a wet dock
