THE VOID

2022

Location: Kala Acadey, Goa

The Drawing Board Competition

The competition aims to create a memorial for Ar Charles Correa  with a context that  firmly ingrained and includes one of Correa’s most celebrated work; Kala Academy.

The void is a celebration of late Ar Charles Correa, honouring his unparalleled legacy. Taking inspiration from the man himself, the memorial situated in front of the Kala Academy overlooking the Mandovi river is experienced not as a single object, but as a path that flows and meanders, sometimes covered, sometimes open to the sky.

Upon descending the slope, the visitors are greeted by a beautiful open to sky courtyard surrounded by red latterite walls, covered with water element. The connection between the still water and the moving sky symbolizes the presence in absence. The courtyard then leads to a colonnade space towards the west, overlooking the beautiful sunset over the Mandovi river.

Design Process

Analyzing direction of contour in site

Apartment blocks sited on the north and housing towards the south for maximum solar gain

Entrance and exits showing circulation

Placement of plot in accordance with the contour

Green open spaces along with leaving setbacks according to by-laws

Avoiding dead ends by providing Cul-de-sacs and providing green open spaces

Through the exposure to the nature, the design helps in development of children’s cognitive skills as well as develop a sense of stewardship over the envirronment that they grow up playing.
