Ephemeral Eternity refers to the experience of water throughout the site which is transitory - leading to new experiences along the stream corridor. The design aims are rejuvenating the seen water for the human and cultural interface without polluting the river and replenishing the unseen water for the recreational purpose. The interrelationship of people with the water is designed to constantly change throughout the site. In some instances water is worshiped, while in others, water is cleaned and recharged for educational purposes, and in some areas water is purely used for recreational activities. These experiences further change throughout the year with the change in water presence which also reflects on the surface vegetation and ground moisture. Reviving the stream corridor which is traversing under the bridge is the additional advantage not only in terms of the experiencing water but also as utilization of an inactive pocket of the site. In a nutshell all the diversity of the experiences are the only constant which also acts as a future public space for the proposed residential development.
