The Brief

At its roots, architecture exists to create the physical environment in which people live, but architecture is more than just the built environment, it's also a part of our culture. It stands as a representation of how we see ourselves, as well as how we see the world. Good Architecture can encourage social merging, participation, safety, recreation, and a variety of other social values; it has a positive impact on user perception of the place. The buildings, the built environment, and the overall quality of our cities and environment can be improved by conscious efforts to design buildings in ways that are more in line with human senses and needs.

Indian public spaces have more dimensions rather than physical ones, such as emotional, cultural, social value, and interactions with the public. While designing public spaces to cherish and celebrate life, this ethos should be nurtured. Architecture has to be an essential service to all strata of the public. The pragmatic impacts of good architecture needs to be reflected in the life of civilians using the place; may that be in macro levels of town and city planning, in the medium scale of a public building and even for micro scales like a private residence or even in the design of a furniture.

The installation must take into account the context to make an inspiring multisensory contribution, while maximizing the possibility of public engagement and interaction. It should also respond to the culture and history of the place.
