Cultural Thresholds
Question-
Loss of culture due to lack of a proper social space, changing house typologies and a hardening tourist edge and the warehouse like unhuman living conditions for migrants/workers are the major concerns in the shehris located behind the Nani Daman fort. So how does one reconfigure the existing public and living spaces to bring back environmental flows and comfort?
Site Demarcation
