Jury Comments
• The drawings of elevation and sections are inadequate, however the entire 30 volumetric envelope of the public space and 30 visual of the precinct is very commendable.
• The design invokes symmetry, but at a certain point the design departs from symmetry to asymmetry, which is unclear and in questionable.
India is one of the largest democracies in the world and we are almost hitting the diamond jubilee mark of our independence. Education has a major role in this mass shift in perception and interpretation of democracy. Yet, almost
no democratic country enables the civilians to give a formal platform to raise their voices to collectively discuss. The subject matter discussed above emerged out of the recent CAA/NRC protest that broke out in the capital late 2019. The mass movement lead to many causalities, vandalism and the most. fear of being unheard and unanswered amongst the
masses. The role of media however important cannot be adjudged truly transparent as the past dictates. Hence it becomes important that the decision makers and citizens come together one to one and talk about the matters of the
state. To celebrate and criticize the happenings in the country from major breakthroughs to the bleakest of events.
The thesis questions and tries to establish the sensitivity of the relationship between the state and civilians with architecture as the medium. An attempt to envision a contemporary institution within the rich contextual and cultural heritage of India that focuses on the idea of democracy. To create a civic amenity that provides a platform to enhance dialogue across politics,
cultures, relig ions, regions, societies, economies and history. A facility to attract children and adults likewise to impart knowledge about the idea of democracy in India. LokManch shall act as a place for reconciliation and recollection of
the national values and ethics, balancing the multi -ethnic fabric of t he country. The form of the building is deeply inspired by the works of S.H. Raza, a renowned artist. His interpretation of Bindu and 5 elements of existence truly mimic the spirit of democracy as envisioned by the freedom fighters. The building serves as a memoir to all those struggles and moments of
participation in history .
