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

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.

This stretch of Juhu contains diverse languages, ranging from materials to scales to the people using this. This heterogenity and multilpicity offers areas to explore the variety of information presented, which can be further experimented upon and personalized to suit one's needs.

Heterogeneity Multiplied_Juhu Tara Road

Personalization of a generic object/event leads to individual responses based on the user’s requirements. The same newspaper is presented to readers everywhere. This conditions the mind and creates an environment, which is individual to each reader. Further filtration of these environments creates a personal or customized view point.

The site is a large catchment for large masses of people, a place where people pass through and speaks of many differing environs- the forest, the ghostly lots, the dense pockets and the exaggerated pieces of extravagance. This site, containing varying slices of living and empty environments and being host to a vast strata of society, will be used for experiments on personalization and categorization.

Narrative 1

[ Everyday I travel a lot…see a lot many things…obvious, atrocious, ridiculous...why should I see it?...I don’t like it…I want my utopia. (But…) Isn’t this heterogeneity good…only one type of utopia will become boring…you need multiplicity…you need spices, not just bland sushi! ]

The newspaper is a body of fact, fiction, reportage and emotions. It presents underlined codes of importance attached to each piece of news. It has characters, graphics, fonts, visuals which condition the mind and create environments which different people find comfort in reading differently.

Leafing through it each morning, i dwell on my likings and if i do not like what i see, the excitement dips, emotions change, shreds fly! Now you get what you wanted.

Narrative 2

Character rich environments present themselves each day to people who the newspaper. There are likes, dislikes, attractions and regrets. Tastes develop; they are altered by the visuals presented every day, varying in the intensity with which they register themselves. Pieces of information, fiction and reportage overlap after this personalization to form unexplored scenarios and outcomes. The mind creates scenarios, predicts results, forms environments.
