URBAN DESIGN

ASTITVA (Bringing back the presence of the lost flower market)

Location: Mumbai, Dadar Flower Market

Course: Semester VII Urban Design Project

My Role: Preparing 30 model and Researching the need and cause of the issue

The Dadar Flower Market, also known as "phool gully" which literally means "flower street", is up and running before sunrise when vendors come in from around Mumbai with their stock of the freshest and most colourful flower.The market currently has somewhere lost its importance amidst the chaos and busy life of Mumbaikars. Even after having thousands of people walk through, it every day they never take a second look. So, by bringing in some interactive and sustainable modules for vendors so that people could appreciate more about the space. This could also ignite interaction between the space and the viewer.
