Proposal - Sections

Interim Proposal Development

The data set features proposals and developments spread on the site with a view to maintaining the heterogeneity, through usage of existing hotels, alteration of parking areas and the fresh-water pond, modulation of the existing road edges and the addition of programs in conjunction to the forest and the car-park along the airstrip. The proposal features ideas of reactivation, addition, revival and alterations to the existing, to provide for a 'timeline' of developments and changes to this site (Juhu Tara Road). this 'timeline' aims to intertwine the past and the present with strategies aimed at developing the full potential of the site in future.

Proposed Alterations and Additions

Various diagrammatic proposals in context to the 'operations' performed in the newspaper model.

The proposals placed on site with the language of layers and undulations creating the necessary alterations and additions to the site.

Newspaper + Operations

The various operations performed on layers of newsprint to create instances of spaces, based on the emotions associated with a newspaper article.

The operations short-listed and further used for the operations on site.

Act 3

The drawing shows the surrounding in colour and the site (at Juhu beach) through the shadow world which is in monochrome.

The above images are the views from a shadows perspective showing the character of the Juhu beach.

A shot of the other end of the site/stretch with the billboards and the access to beach and the Juhu-Tara Road.

Varying types of codes and visuals diversify the site and are registered in varying degrees of importance in the mind. A walk through the road and a few minutes of photographing clearly demarcates levels of protection of the objects on site, from the very public to the very protected.

Site video

While walking on the road near Juhu Beach, I see a dark profile at the ground attached to me by my shoes. The bright sun above made me lose my way until I found myself into this dark monochrome world. The shoe I was attached to took me from the cemented roads and parking to paved paths to the sanded beach, where finally I was split apart into two.
