Introduction and Question :
For the past few weeks we've been working around a very urban neighbourhood of the Mumbai City, with many residential housing societies and a park that attracts many users from the surrounding areas. It also sees an influx of the working professionals who we found working in the residential units. Such a corner with rich levels of class diversity, it was also evident how these forces claimed their spaces and in what ways did they function.
It became important to understand that these existing flows of humans shouldn't be disturbed or broken but rather be catered to in such a way that it allows an inter mixing of different class groups in the same space while giving each of them the liberty to claim their own spheres.
What is the architectural expression that creates a space to allow an interweave of different groups along with the flows of systems existing together?
