The interiors were designed to reconnect with na-

space through courtyards,daylighting,water and

rethinking architecture

Everything is a stardust. Lollipops, spaceships and all you see, Even the
house and its inhabitants. What better way to pay tribute to this than by
fusing the realm of the stars with architecture.
The house, without any predefined program, allows simple, elemental hu-
man existence. The scattered units emulate stars in the sky, making the
house a constellation on the surface of the earth but reaching out. A con-
tinuous open space, flowing along these units is formed. Each person per-
ceives the house differently, making it an extension of their selves.
Purity of existence is achieved through purity of architecture. By not im-
posing itself on the user, the house gives him/her an essential freedom
to become whole. Live under the stars. The human race is a mechanism
devised by the universe to try and experience itself. Look up. The sky is a
PLAN
mirror.

actions. If there is one thing that is to be learned from this exercise, it is to stop thinking and
to get to work and the rest will follow.

The CH flyover is located at the heart of Calicut city. Built in

1982 the CH flyover was named after the then chief minis-
ter C.H. Mohammed Koya. The bridge is situated in a prime
location in the city, right beside the Paragon hotel, which in
itself is a landmark in Calicut. In addition, there are numer-
ous “fooding” joints like milk sarbat and some cake shops
in close proximity to the location. Government offices like
the Income tax office, the Excise office and the office of the
registrar lie adjacent to the bridge. The site is a small dis-
used space beneath the bridge, which is meant to be a pe-
destrian crossing. It is in stark contrast to its surroundings.

it is in a hotspot in the city, adjacent to a widely used road
way.
 WORKFLOW
The landscape has been done with a sole inten-
tion to discourage future misuse of the space. The
work include donated plants from local house-
holds and bricks from a demolished wall nearby.

The paintings of iconic Calicut based artists and

writers, as well as those of the famous land-
marks are meant to instill a feel of Calicut’s rich
heritage and culture.

The proposal for proper seating was met with averse
response from the locals. The site, before its trans-
formation was a drinking and sleeping spot for vaga-
bounds. So the seating area was conceived in a way
that would allow people only to be seated.
People, in general, will turn a blind eye to any
civic messages. But they have an inborn respect
for their culture. Hence our painting will not
only stop them from dumping waste and stick-
ing posters, but also motivate them to keep the
place clean.
Cleaning up is a week’s work, but the main hurdle is its maintenance. For more than 30 years,
the dark and shady underpass acted as a beacon attracting all sorts of anti-social elements.
This area casts a shadow on the otherwise well-developed neighborhood. As the phrase ‘Trag-
edy of the Commons’ denotes, no one takes any personal interest over the upkeep of the pub-
lic will. But then there were a few who tried and failed, maybe because they lacked the vision
or the means.
 We were asked to document our progress and compile it into 3minute short video.
The presentation, both print and visual received special mention from the jury and was
awarded as the ‘Best Presentation’

BEFORE AFTER VISION

This space, despite connecting two busy streets, had people choosing to walk around it, just
to avoid it. Our vision is to transform this space to the best of our ability, and to ensure its
maintenance in the future by legally assigning custodianship to local stakeholders (in this case,
Babuettan) with formal consent from the concerned authorities.
