India, Jhunjhunūn
FC-01x Future Cities (Self-Paced) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2019-03-29 by KAVITA KHATRY
Mandawa, Jhunjhunu is a town in Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. It's a beautiful place with numerous palaces which either have converted into hotels or just left free for people's appreciation and to be a part of it. My whole family drove to this place and had spend three days during Diwali festival of India. It shines like a jewel piece! The photo clicked by me as attached was taken for a strong reason! I somehow went into the history and had started visualising too many activities as following: 1. Infinite people in this square and cattles around the Neem tree. 2. Parliament happening under the tree. 3. Religious activies like typical indian marriages in villages. I went down and measured it through by foot length and it was appx. 80mx90m. TWO INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES ABOUT THE SPACE ARE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SCALE & ACTIVITY AND SETTING A NODE IN AN URBAN SPACE. I shall take the scale factor futher to analyse for future cities of India. As per the projected population growth, we can decide the number and dimesions of such forum spaces. FORUMS (OF VARYING SIZES) ARE IMPORTANT FOR MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH OF THE CITY! I BELIEVE SO! K.
