Integrating Agriculture into Urbanscape

Jury Comments
The built and the existing landscape play a role in the building, that tells about integrating the flora and fauna.
Symmetry is not architecture, symmetry is for burial grounds.
Roof is not the only place to grow plants or harvest rainwater, more options could have been explored.
"AGRICULTURE not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own" quite a statement given by Samuel Johnson. It shows how important agriculture is to the development of society as a whole which also benefits the growth of a nation. India as we know is a proud agriculturally based economy, it has been so for
years but with rapid urbanisation along with the looming threat of global warming, farming has been seeing a decline for years.
Being a farmer's grand-daughter who witnessed the rapid change from rural farm lands to urban commercial expansion, the design ideology transitioned from a simple ch ildhood memory to an architectural input in the city. A space which would be in the city limits rather than a tourist spot on the outskirts of it making it accessible. Having grown up in HADAPSAR; a prime farmer's area which until 15-12 years ago was a proud farmer base, I have seen it change into the IT sector which, it is now; the project aims to create a space that links the city, people , food; and inspires the young and old to understand and retain the moral principles it teaches. Here is a need of BALANCE in this rapid adavancement in technology world; it's not practica l to live completely off-grid by alienating yourself from the society. Urbanisation to isolation is not a healthy thing. So finding the midline by eliminating negatives of organisation and soaking in the positives of isolation, farming being the part of the latter is important.
