By creating a series of horizontal water corridors connecting the village of Godhavi and the new institutional campus, this project aims to break the superimposing pattern of systematic mega-scale developments, including the regional Gota-Godhavi canal and the new Town Planning scheme, and its relation to the natural boundary and growth of Godhavi Village.
The water corridors will offer both channels integrating local scale water sources and pedestrian-oriented paths to foster a new dynamic between infrastructure and people’s engagement with water and land. Meanwhile, along the corridors, the design considers the various interfaces that bring different environmental and ecological conditions to our attention. Through an investigation of these conditions and thereby proposing corresponding toolkits of local/small-scale water infrastructures, this project offers a flexible yet impactful approach that can be adopted within the broader framework of the regional watershed.
