Unit Occupied End- Semester exhibition at CEPT, 2019
Public spaces in the core walled city of Ahmedabad are important structurally in the tight-knit historical fabric. They serve as breather spaces and are generators of social and everyday events. Currently, many valued historical spaces of the city serve as parking lots or storage areas or have been occupied by vendors/ residents. The unit ‘Occupied: graphic anatomy of everyday urban’ looked at six stressed public areas in the city and invited students to bold experimentation and innovation to uplift these areas. While doing so, the current usages, patterns of everyday life, and relations people hold to the site were to be extensively studied to arrive at appropriate and sensitive solutions to the challenges detected.
