Understanding the culture and space-making of the Kolis shows us that the Kolis require spaces to express their traditions, cultures and themselves such as space for shrines, crosses, otlas, and ways for self expression. This project is an attempt to maintain that along with the connection to the creek, their traditional source of income, which was lost due to various reclamations. Community interaction is also important to the Kolis as well as other communities present in Koliwada, and this was maintained in the design proposal by the formation of micro-neighbourhoods and multifunctional open spaces near institutions
