Masters of Architecture in Architectural Design, C.E.P.T. University, Semester 4
Studio- Narratives in Architecture, Tutor- Dr. Meghal Arya
Studio Intent- Interpreting "lost spaces" in the city.
The act of story telling has, historically, been a powerful tool to communicate and disseminate meanings. Architecture has always claimed to communicate meaning and yet, the idea of narratives remains limited to some theoretical expression. Can the architect assume the role of a story teller and offer spatial experiences that can create an experience of a narrative for the user?
This studio investigated abandoned and neglected spaces to reconstitute as a positive experience within an urban fabric. The intention was to create hybrid, dynamic programs that fit the complex, changing global conditions. It was seen as an opportunity to explore dynamic, social, political and ecological constructs expressed in a public institution.
Site- Wadi Bunder Railway Yard, Mumbai.
