Why was Kathipara site In Chennai Selected ?why not mumbai and kolkata ?
Due to the presence of a wide variety of sounds
it will serve as a source for the variety of research based programs that might
be housed in the complex .
The chosen site has one of the highest noise levels in
the city and is not a defined patch of
land. Hence it would be a restriction while designing to go with the existing
flow of land.
A combination of
both vertical and horizontal noise makes it difficult to linger here for long
periods of time and makes this space unique as this combination is hard to come
by.
The zones surrounding the Site either industrial or commerical in nature. As
the design will not cater to the existing context, contrast will be created
between context and design which provides an interesting challenge to the
design process.
The Kathipara junction has developed into a landmark to
people both from Chennai as well as outsiders. This potential can be developed
and manipulated to make it a tourist attraction.
The increasing residential character of the area
brings up the need to introduce a public space which is further amplified by
its unparalleled accessibility from other parts of Chennai.
The presence of 3 dimensional aural environment in Kathipara _Chennai _India helps us to experiment Architecture with Sound
