The focus of this exercise is to develop guidelines and report for efficient design along river corridor, by following river continuum approach
Students will develop a detailed design proposal for a chosen site area, which will be supported by conceptual diagrams and a design program. Area calculations and the appropriateness of spaces will be detailed.
Along with the above, students will continue working on the designed and developed detailed proposal for zoomed in areas at 1:1000, 1:500 and 1:250 scale the Neglected river
Weaving the unsown parts of an ecosystem
Vishwamitri river is one of the main features of Baroda. Although it cuts the city through its centre, the river remains neglected by its citizens. It is confused by the people to be a drain instead. This has happened because of the way the river has been treated by the city for years, dumping most of its sewage in it. The edge of the river can be recognised by the untouched greens adjacent to the river. Even though the water of the river is extremely polluted, the edge has managed to maintain a very strong ecosystem
The project aims to enhance the now-neglected river and restore its identity by increasing human interaction on the edge. It does this by connecting the people of the city to the three elements that make up the ecosystem - the flora, fauna and water. The intervention aims to achieve this by retaining the vibrant experiential quality of the vegetation patterns along the river edge. The fauna of crocodiles and snakes makes the edge dangerous to access. Yet, the intervention makes minimal physical connection while curating multiple vistas and introduces activities such as an aviary to engage with the river.
