Importance of the site
This space is a junction between Kodihalli and Jeevanbhima nagar, a neighborhood level Katte with a small temple, adjacent to an auto stand. If this space is developed, it will provide an urban public space for relaxation, praying and waiting for the neighborhood residents, shoppers, autorickshaw drivers and commuters.
Proposed idea / vision:
This Kaṭṭe explores a contemporary re-interpretation of a traditional kaṭṭe in conjunction with botanical species it is sited under. The form of the kaṭṭe responds to the physical aspects of the tree - its girth, foliage and shading pattern. The triangular geometry lends to the dynamic form and allows for multiple social geometries and ways of inhabitation. A plaque bearing horticultural information forms a part of the composition, thus educating the users about the road-side trees in the garden city of Benglauru. Material palette of Sadarhalli grey granite and IPS oxide / Epoxy flooring is durable and maintenance friendly.
This design will provide a safe, hygienic and comfortable public space for the neighborhood residents, shoppers, autorickshaw drivers and commuters.
