The Midline garden
INTRODUCTION AND QUESTION
The site is an island between the residential towers on one side and the Nallah on the other side. The BMC truck repairing facility has majorly men working within the site. While they spend a lot of time doing laborious work, small practices of home making like making a garden, living with the dust and the wilderness etc have also found space within these spaces of labour.
The Kaifi Azmi Park in the immediate neighbourhood has a lot of people coming for walk, rest, etc only during the stipulated timings when the park is open and it provides for a curated garden experience.
This project hence questions what is a garden and can the everyday lived experiences of people in these liminal spaces add to the experience of a garden? What can be the Architecture that allows for these intertwined spaces and life become more meaningful?
