After entering into the sight every time new thing come across , Changes in movement of animals, birds, insects, the way people inhabited themselves different organisms, shelves, temple, chul, boats, direction of water flow
We started exploring and observing different types of flows Boats, Tides, Crabs, Birds, Insects
One of the flow which we come across was Flow of crabs we started with mapping flow of crabs
Flow of crabs during high tide, crabs go under their burrows to save themselves from flowing water
Flow of crabs during summer, footprints can be seen during this days, Crabs go inside their burrows to hide themselves from heat
Flow of crabs during low tides crab can be seen from top they move on or near bund wall
Section through bund wall
After studying and observing flow of crabs we understood that people were continuously catching crabs and use them for their economical purpose due to this one day the crabs species will get vanished.
Their where two types of crabs one which was found near bund wall known as Tirla while the other one which is eaten by people is found in creek known as scylla serrata, this crab is larger in size and found in deep water not near bund wall
Tirla
(on or near bund wall)
Scylla Serrata
(in the creek)
AIM
Our aim was to create a space naturally where we can grow crabs so that people want go inside creek and species of crabs remain also it should not affect the economy of the people those who are depend on crabs fishing
Water flowing from creek to bund wall
INTERVENTION
our intervention is about crab cultivation where people will cultivate crabs naturally and use it for selling
Experiencing to the people how crabs cultivation is done
1. Aiteration
Building slope from creek to bund wall which will allow the flow of water naturally and crabs cultivation done their, people who want to observe crabs enter through tunnel and watch them tunnel will be made of fibre and viewing place made with glass, land will be dig and to stop sloping of mud stone wall will be made so that mud want flow
2.Aiteration
Creating bund wall with bricks attached net on one side which will allow the flow of water but not allow the crabs to flow with water , the shape of the intervention come with the placement of existing trees their will be storage place, seperation place, observation place for person to keep watch what all are things going on The slope is created in such a way so that water should not stay their and create unhealthy atmosphere for crabs the flow of fresh water gets continuously.
3. Aiteration
This is the place of crabs cultivation with different places storage, seperation place so that the crabs get seperated and completely grown crabs taken for sell in storage area and remaining crabs are are again put into the water, their will be the observation place from where the person can keep watch on what is going on ,bridge is connected to observation place through fish pond to storage place the visitor will be be allowed to walk through the bridge and experience hoe the crab cultivation is done, fish pond is made so that if crabs will be provided fish as their food
