REIMAGING SHOE ISLAND

In Sukhna Lake,Chandigarh

Concept

The thought behind the deisgn was to make something that represents the beauty of this place ( shoe Island , Sukhna Lake ) just like “Open Hand Monument ” which represent the goverment of Chandigarh . A symbol that will give an identity to this place .

So, i came up with the idea through wwhich we can treat the exisiting water without the help of Nano technology method and without disturbing the aquatic life

So I, took inspiration from the Indian Grey Hornbill , It is an official bird of Chandigarh.

The hornbill symbolism is asking you to protect what is around you and what is yours. This spirit animal insist that you do everything within your power to safeguard what is yours. As an architect it is our responsibility to contribute in the solution for the existing problems.

The idea is to provide a focal point which describes the beauty and the concept of Sukhna Lake.
