COMPETITION BRIEF The design programme intends to explore, identify and re-interpret the ‘liminal spaces’ in the respective context with a vision to inform a society.

Liminal spaces are those thankless transitional, in between spaces which remain in backdrop to highlight or connect with the primary functional boundaries. They are not here and not there, i.e. does not belong to any category or reference point.

APPROACH The traditional Hindu ‘Agraharams’ (Brahmin neighborhood consisting of row houses on either side of the road) of Trivandrum, Kerala, India were documented and studied.

Agraharams incorporated the way of life back then, which was centered around temples and religion. The streets of Agraharams served as spaces for temple festivities and possessions. The streets were thus spaces of rich cultural significance with women drawing traditional Kolams in front of their houses, children playing and adults exchanging conversations. However the streets that once bounded the community together at present serve just as a space for transportation.

Today, agraharams are fast disappearing to make way for bigger and modern houses. With the younger generation migrating to cities or other countries across the world in search of jobs, Agraharams now stand alone with only memories of a way of life The Artwork depicts the change in psychological liminality. It depicts the transition of the society in to the modern age with lose of its rich culture and heritage.
