The project centres on the redesign of a dry riverbed, a versatile space currently underutilized due to a lack of thoughtful design. The goal is to transform it into a vibrant, multifunctional area that not only maximises its potential but also serves as a deterrent to illegal activities like sand mining and poaching. This endeavour is deeply rooted in the appreciation for the rich biodiversity in the site, which includes diverse flora and fauna such as trees, peacocks, birds, and monkeys. The design strategy ensures the harmonious integration of these natural elements into the urban landscape. The approach to this project is underpinned by two fundamental principles: the creation of functional public spaces and a steadfast commitment to regenerative nature conservation. Human-designed spaces can coexist seamlessly with the natural world while fostering community engagement. This embodies a new perspective on urban landscape design that prioritises functionality, sustainability, and ecological responsibility. Through the transformation of a dry riverbed into a thriving urban ecosystem, we aim to demonstrate the potential of spaces that blend diverse activities with the richness of biodiversity, redefining the essence of our urban landscape.
