Plan

Landscape Concept: The ring, a continous pathway, that allows the stroller to walk with ease and comfort was the primary intent, the rest of the required amenities were composed to compliment the primary idea.

The existing hexagonal non-functional water body is redesigned into a fish pond and hosts a mango tree. Thus, becoming the heart of the design.

The concept revolves around the socio-cultural life of the people in Kolkata. Climatological, Functional, Aesthetical, Psychological and Commercial would be the five layers of evaluations, trying to capture the fragments of the larger regional Landscape. Being an affordable housing project, the idea was to keep it simple. The built architecture generates pockets which when stitched together accomplish the design. Each pocket is designed in an interactive way. The hierarchy of major and minor nodes forms the main junctions in stitching these pockets together. Each pocket has its own identity with respect to the age group and function.

The intent of this landscape design was to take the visitor through a journey depicting all the elements from the Masterplan. The site, situated on the banks of a river, is adorned by native grasses. The design gives a tribute to this unique ecology by enhancing the grassland ecology of the site.

Trail and Open Spaces

Location: Powai, Mumbai Site Area:

Consultant Architect: All the important

Powai Garden/ Deer Park

Open spaces along

the walk trail are marked alongside in Status: Presented, 2021 the plan.

Powai Dam The promenade presently is primarily used only for walks.

The Visarjan Deck is used for congregation.

The Children’s park is active in the evenings during school days. And highly active over the weekends.

The fountain show that used to take place at the Powai gardens has not been functional for a long time now.

ASPIRATIONS

SURVEY

Imageability to achieve

What users say!

Vision Statement:

The users are the most important factors to ideate any design. A quick survey based on interviews was taken to understand what issues the users face, their needs and aspirations for the promenade. The user group selected is the one that use the promenade on a regular basis, age group between 20-30 years of age.

“The intent is to design creative public realm framework to create varied identities for the presently homogeneous open spaces.

“

Adding layers of comfort through softscape, interaction through elements of design and strategies for better functioning of the public spaces.

EARTHIST LANDSCAPES PROPOSALS Macro- Scale Visual Connectivity:

Increasing legibility of each garden pockets with planting ideas, sculptures that are larger than life and other elements of design.

EARTHIST LANDSCAPES PROPOSALS

LIGHTING

ECO-FRIENDLY

Light up the whole stretch evenly as evenings are a the only good time to visit the promenade.

The puja waste may contribute to a composting pit altogether but the look should not be like a waste bin.

SIGNAGES

SERENITY

Signboards for stupids not to loiter stuff in such places especially!!

The cobbled pathway, the dense trees making an archway overlooking the lake, this serenity needs to be preserved.

CONNECTIVITY

MAINTENANCE

It is not very well connected..

You can’t just enter from anywhere.. You need to walk a lot.

If removing water hyacinth is part of this scope then a mechanism to remove it would be great as it deteriorates the experiential quality!

SECURITY

AESTHETICS

I very recently heard of cases in and around the promenade of sexual abuse... Design should cater to the security of the society.

Will prefer some hanging flowering plants with pink or lavender colour flower like the one in Japanese gardens.

REDESIGNING POWAI LAKE PROMENADE 06

Elements in design

Powai Lake IIT-B Lake edge

Connectivity: External footpath:

Relation with the existing Skywalks, connections with the internal walkway in each of the gardens needs to be studied in detail, understanding the footfall from specific routes to efficiently work on the desired lines.

Internal walkway:

Adding the varied experiences while walking along the internal walkway.

Visarjan Deck

Musical Fountains

Powai Vatika

Seating:

Children’s Park

Seating with robust materials, quality and with certain type of a sparking element, with and without backrests depending on the type of primary user group that the green pocket caters to.

Language of design:

Creating identity of the entire promenade with rich singular element of design or design style.

Powai Garden

Lake view Garden

Interactions in design:

Having activities for social awareness, creative learning and screenings of live theatre can add another social layers of interactive design.
