Form development
Space around the site was light and a happening space where clusters of people sit together around shadowns and light thus the warmth and community experience was built.
The space had to provide certain programs that are used by people and helps in finding people their space easily.
In beginning the idea was to share open spaces by different programs and open spaces have some connectivity that keeps communication and visibility open.
As spaces starts to organize and placed there was a lack of pattern which was added by a grid rule .
Grids helped in communicating spaces with each other by repetition and connections.
Passages and gallis started to form and a character started to develop.
shadows and light spaces had more impact and resolution in formind the edges narrow passages about 1 m wide enables two people to walk simultaneously not so compact yet not so open.
as the dark alleys break down at the ends to open spaces and a gathering spaces that is shared by balwadi and nursery to form common space.
While composing the edges and walls materiality was also decided as it had to blend with the ground as well as with the site .
