Suzhal: An Introspective edge Adaptive Reuse Project of an Abandoned Factory Environment
during its operation from 1976 till 2001; post which the
Puliyankannu lake, Sitheri lake & Karai lake in a 5km radius and River Palar in a 10km radius and the agrarian societies around which are affected by the contaminants of the site. The site is yearning for an immediate attention in terms of remediation technologies in various forms from physical processes to biological transformations. Hence my efforts here are to address this paradox of bringing new into the existing; natural elements into the manmade shell; from being a privatized property to a civic infrastructure; from transforming the site which was a factor of industrial produce to a biological produce.
