CONSIDERATIONS

Amalgamation of Traditional & Urban Approach

The old cities of India have expanded into forming urban centers with new forms of commercial and residential spaces, hence, most of the cities in India are built as urban settlements with tradition at its core. This traditional-urban relationship is fundamental for a better understanding of the behavior of people in India. Indian public spaces can be defined as a symbiosis of political, religious, commercial, and leisure practices.

Addressing Diverse Requirements & Ergonomics

Public seatings reflect the soul of such spaces as it is not a concept understood by its utility because the seating practices in India are so diverse. People even sit at space that are not purposefully meant for seating. Public seats are used for yoga, namaaz or mohalla sabhas in the morning then for playing cards and satsangs during afternoon and then for an ice cream picnic in the evening.
