 So, the purpose of today's session is to hear from the dream weaving architects, hearing them presenting their emerging designs, and tomorrow will be the time for the participants to give feedback on these. And before we go into detail on how we're going to do this and what today looks like, I invite David and Mona just to give a short context, your background, just to note that all of us, the timings are very tight today, as you can see from the schedule. So, Nikki is going to be keeping time, ringing the bell on me and on all speakers as we go through the day if we run over. Okay, so to Mona first. Okay, Mona. Can I just stand here? Morning everybody. So, welcome to this second session, which is our big dream weaving session with the community at large. So, David and I have put up a small presentation to just give you an overview of the evolution of this process and how we have got where we are and what is in store today in a short, in a very short introduction. So, this is, the dream weaving is an open source planning approach. Next, please. And this is going to be about, this presentation is about the evolution of this idea. Where did this come from and how we, as a community, how we have evolved this in-house. Next. So, dream catching is different from dream weaving. Dream catching started in 2005 and it is about 100 people who are part of the email list and we were trying to create a place, an open forum where we could just come and dream. There was no, there was no fixed agenda and it was a collective space where anybody could come. It was just not for architects. It was for every newcomer, guest, or a villain. Everybody was involved and we, we explored many ways. So, there is dream catching, dream weaving, dream spaces, dream boxes, design cafe and many more perhaps to evolve. So, it is a forum for openness, spontaneity, vision and joy with no time limit. This is very important because we are always working within time limits and we put ourselves under pressure and then we have to find the lowest common denominator than the highest common factor. So, we were saying let's work differently. Next. You can just go next. So, these are just some images of how we started. The best part was that we would be doing it on different rooftops and we were also, you know, exploring different spaces in Auroville at the same time involving a lot of people. I just went there. Go back one please. Yeah. So, this was, so this was at 6 to 8 in the mornings and this happened because there wasn't a time we could agree upon and actually that was one of the best things that happened because in this early morning space where everybody was coming and there was no distraction and it was not a discussion. It was a very silent space where we were just putting forward our thoughts, whatever was inspiring us and eventually we realized that there is a magic in this because we are opening up to something that we all didn't know and we were creating something collective which was far valuable than what each one of us could bring to the circle. And like this, we started exploring all the different parts of Auroville like the zones, you know, the green belts, the entrance to Auroville, etc. And then while doing this, after a year or so, we felt we had collected enough material, enough interesting ideas to share next with the community and we came up with dream spaces. So, this was like a land art installation where we presented all the ideas that we had, you know, collated and we wanted community to give us feedback and to participate. And it was a very interesting process because we could get children, we could get people from the villages and we had these kind of notes where people could read what were, you know, very concise and very out of the box because we tried to not keep names also which trigger things in people. So, we tried to find inspiring ways to trigger different experiences and different ideas from people. Next. And then came the design cafe. So, then we realized, okay, but how do we use this to do a design process in, you know, with a, suppose with a design, with an architectural problem, for example. So, we evolved. This was part of an academic design studio that we did. You can see Helmut. There were about five architects, David, me and Ganesh and Helmut and Tony was there. And this was the design cafe, which is what we're going to experience tomorrow. So, this is a, this is taken over from what is called World Cafe by David Bohm. He was a physicist and he developed this way of participating on any issue. It doesn't have to be just architecture. It doesn't have to be just planning. It can be about anything in Orville. And we did try it several times. So, this one was that every 20 minutes you shift to a different table, whereas one person stays constant on the table. The one who's presenting or who has an idea or who's anchoring an idea. And the other three people on this table would go to another table and they mix around. They don't go in the same group. So, at the end of one minute, of one hour, you have a mix of all ideas. Next. And then came dream weaving. So, this is a more structured process to weave together inputs. So, architects will present designs, which is what is going to happen today. And we have encouraged them already in another session, which happened two weeks before to weave their ideas together. They are allowed to copy. They're allowed to steal. They're allowed to borrow ideas. And this is the best because then they start weaving their ideas together. Next. So, these are also some ideas that we have with some of the, where dream weaving actually took, you know, literal form and we could actually work on design. So, Crown Ways was one which happened in 2008. Next. Then, Sustainable Livelyhood Institute, which happened in 2014. And this is the Garden of the Unexpected, which was also, when the final design came about, it was with dream weaving with the other two people who had actually also been selected. So, we were the leading architects, but they had also the community participation for the Garden of the Unexpected. Next. And now, this is what we are doing today, dream weaving 2022, and I'll invite David to come and take over. Okay. Morning, everybody. So, here we are today. It's kind of dream weaving has been brought back onto the table with the matter at hand. Next slide. So, why are we reinvigorating the dream weaving now? Well, with the events of the last few months, it's pretty clear that we're moving towards creating a new DDP for the whole of the township area. And Vastu Shilpa Foundation, which is BV Doshi's office, they've been asked by ATTC and the Foundation to develop a detailed development plan over the course of this coming year. They're still in negotiation as far as the contract goes, but that's the idea. And so, the dream weaving process was actually instigated. I'll come to that in the next slide, but the secretary actually approached us if we would be willing to do that to help the Vastu Shilpa Foundation and to actually create this sort of community environment now. And the idea is that we've got the existing galaxy concept and the master plan. So, you've got the galaxy concept, what the mother and Roger evolved. Then over the years now we've had these evolving master plans. And so, to get down to that DDP level where we can really start to concentrate on what needs to happen on the ground, we're sort of providing the poetry or the masala, if you like, that through the collecting of the different ideas from around the community. And when we were meeting with the Vastu Shilpa Foundation, we were going to originally look at a small area similar to Crownways from 2008, but then actually Vastu Shilpa suggested, why don't we look at the whole Crown? So, it's a heck of a challenge in these seven, eight weeks to do the whole Crown, to sort of try and conceptualize that, but we took this task on. I should say more specifically, the architects took this task on. Next. So, this is the first day actually where we see the overall structure of the dream weaving with all of you present in the room. We have the dream weavers themselves. There are actually 11 teams. And an analytical group which came together with 20 different experts or areas of Oroville. So, we've got the different planning inputs, regional planning, urban planning, of course we've got water, infrastructure, things like this, but we've also got people coming and giving input from the line of Goodwill because it's basically anything that's going to impact the Crown. So Glenn was also there from the forests for where it goes through the parks. Focus group, again, around 30 individuals, hopefully most of you here today. And that's basically representing different perspectives that didn't necessarily come and give us a particular input in the three-day workshop. So that can be from the educational side, from the youth side, from the bioregional side, etc. And finally, we have the randomly selected group. And the idea of this is coming from the citizens assembly, which we did this time last year, to try and capture the voice of the silent majority in Oroville. And we found actually through this citizens assembly on water, it was very well received. And this kind of random selection idea, we felt works really well. And we got very positive feedback on that. Next. So, so far, as I already mentioned, it started in September, December with various discussions between ATDC, Oroville Foundation and Vastu Shilpa Foundation. The main thing at that time was evolving the brief, which all the architects have been working with. And once that was once we reached a point towards the end of December, Oma did a great job of reaching out to some of the architects to start getting their feedback, weaving that into the brief. And at the end of it, we also then reached out more to the community. So that was, we gave presentations to the youth, to the bioregion, things like this. And so finally, then we gave the presentation in the Unity Pavilion, where we were looking for a kind of a show of hands to get a sense of can we move forwards with this, we didn't have time to go through a full community process and get the full ratification of the RA, but we felt we're just going to roll with this one and we got a good show of hands at that time. So that was kind of like the starting gun. And at that point, roughly 20 architects signed up to participate. Next. So we had a quick walk around the crown on the very first step with the maps to get a sense of lay of the land. Next. We also had an initial dream catching session similar to what Mona was just describing on the solar kitchen roof. Next. And then we started really sort of with the nitty gritty three days technical workshop, where then the analytical people were giving their input. So here, for instance, we've got Suassini coming more with the planning aspects. And of course, it was in Boominger Hall. And this was really a great opportunity for Vastu Shilpa to get an overview and get a sense of the wide range of expertise that we have in Auroville and the work that's been done over all these years. Next. So then from that point on, the architects started sketching, started coming up with ideas. We just had an initial sort of more relaxed sharing session around it in CSR. Next. And then two weeks ago, we had the very first dream weaving session here. Originally, that was going to be live streamed. But because many of the architects actually have never worked together before, we were feeling it's actually better to give them a bit of time and space to get used to that. So we didn't live stream it. But you'll be getting more or less a repeat of that process today. And hopefully the architects, you'll see the work that they've done now in the last two weeks. And but they'll be similarly giving the type of feedback that Mona was referring to where we give positive feedback. And the idea is you try and borrow more and more ideas from the other schemes and that the schemes slowly get woven together over a period of time. Next. So today we're calling it the big weave because we've got all of you here as well. So the architects will do their bit today. And then tomorrow we'll be reaching out to those the other groups of you that are here that we've defined. So tomorrow it will be more small group discussions. Today when the architects give their feedback, you can all see that. Whereas tomorrow with this design cafe format, you will all be giving feedback in smaller groups for five people around the table. It will be facilitated so that everybody has an opportunity to speak. But it's also very, very important the forms that you've been given as we go through the presentations. It's important to have five minutes to fill that in. And because it's impossible with this number of people over these two days to verbally receive everybody's feedback, the forms are so important and the verbal part is just part of a more social aspect and you can hear from each other what people's ideas are. Next. So going forwards, the last the first streaming weaving was two weeks ago, the last presentation will be two weeks from now, on the next two weekends from now. That's where the designs should be finished and will be presented and we will go through some kind of process to decide which schemes people like the best. And then there will be a final presentation during the birthday week to the wider community. Of course in that weekend it will also be live streamed the first weekend. And then there will be all the work along with a finished report will be sent very soon after that to the Town Development Council and Vastu Shilpa. This will include all the designs, all the work that's been done will be forwarded. But what's important is with these different groups which you all represent, it's also giving a sense of the different parts of Auroville as to which designs they actually think are more relevant. So for instance the architects might choose a different design as being their favourite, than the technical people, than the focus group, or than the randomly selected people. So it kind of gives Vastu Shilpa foundation a kind of a sense if we're all on the same page or if there are different aspects there too. Next, there we go. Yes, Vastu Shilpa right here now watching on Zoom by the way. Thank you David and Mona. So before we start going into the presentations I just want to provide a little bit more detail on some of those aspects. As David said this is the first time we have so many different people in the room. So yes welcome to those who are joining us for the first time. As he said we've previously been working with the architects and with the sort of technical group. They were with us from the presentations at the start of January and we now have the two new groups. So one of them we have called the focus group. Don't get too hung up on the terms. Focus group is just a term that's used outside Oroville to say there's different people with different perspectives coming together so that you can get feedback from many different flavours. These people many of them are also experts as well as the expert technical group. So as David said we have people from all aspects entrepreneurs, those working in services, in education, in forests, artists, healers, the youth and many more. And what's really important just to make sure everyone is aware that the people in these groups are not meant to represent the views of everybody in that field. It's really just to bring to this process different flavours from different fields, different areas of Oroville. We'd love to have everybody in the community involved in this process but we really don't want to overwhelm the architects any more with that amount of feedback. And also we want to make these encounters meaningful. So if we have too many people it doesn't give much chance for interaction. So we've been really trying to balance those aspects of having different voices in the room, not overwhelming the architects and making it meaningful. So it's not 100% perfect but it's sort of where we landed to try and meet all of those needs. Okay and finally as David mentioned the other new group of the randomly selected participants which we hope will help us go even further into Oroville's diversity because our community has so many different flavours and aspects it's important as many of them are here as possible. So that's who's in the room. In terms of what we're doing today as David said we're hearing from the architects updating us on their emerging designs today. So we have 11 architects so time is going to be quite critical as we go through the day so Nick is helping this morning with that. So we have six this morning. The first three will be Fabian, then Raj, then Radhika and Shivangi and then we will have three after break and another five this afternoon. Each architect will have 25 minutes to present their ideas. We will be ringing bells just to keep time because it might not seem like much if they overrun by two minutes or three minutes but if 11 people do that that's half an hour if they're overrun by five minutes that's an hour. So we're going to be trying to keep everybody on time. As David said after that there'll be five minutes for silent reflection. It's really important you take notes in that time because you will need these tomorrow because you will have forgotten what the architects said in their detail. So this is your way to capture your thoughts and then bring them with you tomorrow. So if you don't have a form Kathy and Praveen and Angela handing those out so just let yourself be known to them put your hand up if you need. And then we'll have hopefully five minutes for some of the architects to be sharing their feedback. So feedback today is just for dream weaving architects to each other. Tomorrow is a chance when everybody else gets to give their feedback. We will hopefully hear from Doshi Ji and the Vesta Shipper Foundation team just before lunch and just before we close. And at lunch the randomly selected group if they just stay behind for a few minutes we'll just give a little check-in then for them. It will also help us stagger the lunch queue at Anam kitchen which is where lunch will be. And from 145 there's also dropping opportunity for the focus group. Members if there's anything you don't understand there'll be people here who can help you answer those questions so you're welcome to come at that time. And yeah we will finish by six o'clock. So tomorrow is about giving the feedback. We will brief you on that tomorrow. All you need to do today is make sure you take notes as you're going through the process. Okay so you might be thinking this sounds like quite a long day and wondering how you're going to be paying attention to it. So we've just got a very short video which Sophie will play just to give you some tips on that. So it's just a minute or so. The monkey business illusion. Count how many times the players wearing white passed the ball. The correct answer is 16 passes. Did you spot the gorilla? For people who haven't seen or heard about a video like this before about half missed the gorilla. If you knew about the gorilla you probably saw it but did you notice the curtain changing color or the player on the black team leaving the game. Let's rewind and watch it again. Here comes the gorilla and there goes a player and the curtain is changing from red to gold. When you're looking for a gorilla you often miss other unexpected events. And that's the monkey business illusion. Learn more about this illusion and the original gorilla. So did anyone not see the gorilla? Okay. So it's just a fun small reminder that when we're paying so much attention to specific detail we can miss some really interesting things that are happening around that. We also sent a little video on bias. You may have seen this. If not we encourage you to watch it before tomorrow's session. But it's just a reminder really that our brains and naturally wired to pay attention or more attention to things we already believe, to people we like, to people like us and also to the negative. It was really useful when we were cavemen to focus on the negative but not so much for a process like this. So we're just encouraging you and reminding you to try and keep as open a mind as possible and try and see as much as you can. It's also an opportunity today to really retrain your mind to look beyond the negative. So considering what inspires you about each design what you would like to see more of on the crown. So yeah we encourage you to keep this attitude of listening to everyone with an open heart and mind. And we also as we say the timing will be fairly tight so we encourage everybody, presenters, participants to be on time. We're really grateful for the energy and the time that so many people are putting in to make this process happen. So we just need to be respectful of each other's time and on that note I will hand over for our first presenter who is Fabian. I'm clipping this. Fabian, I'm clipping this on you. From pocket. Okay, I can, okay. This is, okay, good morning. This sounds a bit, there's a lot of echo. Okay, good morning. So forgive me for being a bit nervous. Being the first to present it. A lot of the architects have seen what I'm going to show already. So forgive for that also. Initially we had, I think the understanding was that the sequence of the presenters will be random. And then because my part of the work and I haven't been working in a team really I think most of us haven't been really working in teams because it was a lot of time pressure. It is a lot of time pressure. Forming teams takes time. So this is mostly a very personal interpretation of the task that we have signed up for. And because I was making an effort of zooming out and looking from the outer perspective and then coming towards the crown somehow it was felt that it's better if I start with that. As I said, it's all about anchoring the galaxy, not only the crown. Crown being a very important part of the galaxy. Anchoring the galaxy, the crown, all the elements, or into the context in a design exercise which is very important to me to merge vision and reality and then move progressively forward. For me since I'm here I'm trying to find ways of how can we take that image, how can we take mother's vision which brought all of us here, how can we take that and land it onto this plateau, into this cultural, social, political, topographical context finally without animosity in all and just Oma said it at one point really nice, no take it as a as a joyful exercise to work together. Next please. So for me I have to do some basic framework. As I said it's very assumed, it's very personal, it's not supposed to offend anybody when I say Auroville is not to be built on a flat and empty plateau, it's just for me to my experience of living in Auroville for quite a long time. For me it's clear that the ground conditions don't support a one-to-one implementation onto the ground and even if it would have been, we should have done that 50 years ago, buying all the land, the villages wouldn't have had that extent what they're having today. For me it's also clear Auroville is not a finished product and it's a process which takes its time like dream weaving. The galaxy as beautiful as it is, it serves as a possible blueprint, as an ideation, as a concept that waits for us to to take up that challenge and find appropriate manifestations. The master plan and I'm not arguing which one is one step towards that that manifestation. It's not rigid, it was never intended to be, I don't go into that master plans are part of a larger framework, they need development plans, they need annual plans and so on. So again the master plan needs to connect to the larger frame and the context. Similar all of the Aurovillians or most, I speak from my perspective, I'm a transitional being, I'm far away from being the true Aurovillian. I drive a motor bike as many of us do, I'm sometimes non-vegetarian and all, I swear I have my anger issues, so far from perfect. So with that and I think many people feel the same, with that we have to do what we are in the present moment, aspire and move towards. So with that also motorized traffic as we have it, it's part of our world. So we have to gradually shift away from motorized traffic and yeah, so Auroville being then an urban exploration, will by default has always had an experimental character and the parameters beyond, of course the dream and the charter are there, but our day to day life experiences, our growth, our failings, that's all changing. So and for me then the work on the crown needs to be seen in the above context and cannot be addressed in isolation. So this presentation, so there are a lot of caveats in the whole thing, so this presentation is really a personal attempt of bringing mobility as one important part of of urban life of Auroville to bring that into the context. It calls for an approach that does not blind out the life which we have all around us, which we hear, which I see when I drive out of Pecaniculum every day and it's also not about demonizing or finding the need to protect Auroville from it, but it's rather an approach which looks towards a mutually beneficial coexistence between us who have consciously chosen to live here and the people who live around. It's a rough suggestion, I'm not a town planner, I'm an architect, I know the area fairly well, but it's just a rough suggestion, a starting point, and it needs a lot of professional collaborative work between planners or civilians, puncture yards, local population, state and central government. Thanks. Next. So what I did is I zoomed out when I looked at the diff, for me it was always kind of sad in a way to see the galaxy being so being so isolated and not linked with the context, even in early drawings you could see there was one, one Northern bypass, there was a Southern bypass and then there were some kind of connects from the outer ring and that was it, even in the mobility study of Billinger and all, it was not much more, no, it was marked okay, North East kind of node, Northwest node, so then I zoom out a little bit. Thanks David, it's really helpful. So what we have is we have the highway going to Tindiwanam, I think a largely underutilized main road, we have the East Coast road, we have from, from Pudupet up here, all the way to Ulundria Pet, we have one road which we call the Nestle Road, which is by now really developed, not so much traffic, and we have, which could serve as the, as the Northern bypass, we don't have a Southern bypass outside of our master plan area, so the only thing what we have is the road from Bomaya Palayam or Mudalia Chavadi, going through Kohler Palayam, through the Greenbelt, touching the city area, then going through Edaian Chavadi, here to Kudrod, or here to the Tollgate in Moratandi, we have Amtin of roads, which are, and all of these yellow roads are already paved, they go through heavily densely populated areas, and then we have roads which soon will come, which are partially here at Udumbu, already paved, and there is a large push to develop this, there's one here which goes from Petey to, to Aragabumi, the road down here to Pondii, so just, yeah, so just to see the wider context, zooming in you see, that was one too many, no problem, no that's back, back, back, yes, so this is zooming in into our master plan area with a kind of imprint of the master plan proposed roads, and I hope it's not provocative if I say that they are proposed, but that's what's written in the, in the master plan document, you see we have large patches of temple land, orange is a little bit of Parambuk, which is very important to consider, because a lot of these roads, for example, from here up to some Riddhi Canyon, here up next to Aria, and all the road which goes from Sertitude all the way to the Matrimandia, these are all roads which, which are on Parambuk, so it's not so easy to just wish them away, and yeah, for me the next step in this work was really to look how can I take this idealized road imprint with the galaxies, with the line of forces, how can I take that and connected with the traffic systems, with the growth areas, with the water bodies, with the forest areas, with the land holdings, how can I bring that together and see how much comes out of it, for me it was always when I wanted, when I looked at the galaxy, I always wanted to work on almost like a Swiss cheese where you have, you have that perfect round cheese, and then you, you puncture holes know where there is a, there's a, there's a village, there's, there's a lake, whatever, and then you see what comes out, and for me being a planner, that's what really is fun, to somehow see how, I don't want to say mental system, but how conceived systems react with the many aspects of life, life and how they become alive and such, next please. So this is purely the, the master plan roads and the, and the line of forces, next. So and then this is something which, and I will explain it next, first, sorry, which I explain next, if I really look at areas, I see the villages over here, I see the water bodies over here, I see the highway, I see a large part of, of our greenbelt, the, the regenerative forest work, which has happened over here, here also, so a lot of development happening over here. So then this is something which, and again, it's a very personal, it's a very unprofessional approach, but for me it's kind of okay, how can I, how can I fuse them? How can I also, for me it's always difficult to understand how we have no problems of offloading all the traffic, which goes to the Mathrimandir or to the visitor center, to guide that directly through the two and a half meter wide road in Edaya and Chavadi. This here, it has charm, but it's a complete mess, so what can I do to bypass certain areas? So I could imagine that some of the traffic which goes in and we have to think of all the different categories of traffic which are there, so I can go, maybe you do the next one. So I could imagine that parts of the traffic which come from over here goes, and here we have the outside of the master plan area, it's mostly not developed land yet, highly sought after with increasing rates, I could imagine some bypass coming over here. I need to take this road as a given, and however sad it will be, it is one of the most beautiful avenues in our region. I don't see that the trees will survive the next 10-20 years, it's just so much pressure on that road already, here they started widening it, so this road is a given. So I could unload some of the traffic going through Kohler Palaiam, I could do that with a bypass road over here, similar I could do here, and this is the one road in the in the master plan layout which is actually there, so I could have here from that from that place, the back road where it was riding our Urabriya's party, and end from here from Moratandi, I could bypass some of the traffic here. The first step also would be to install more toll gates over here, so that all the trucks which carry chemicals and all they are not necessarily bypassing the toll gate over here, but they would have to go here, so we would already save quite a lot of traffic. I can do the same over here, there is already one one node over here which goes to Sanjeevi Nagar, Alankuppa, I could make a small bypass bypassing, Irumbai could be a very beautiful very sacred entrance with the temple over here. So then I come over here, the traffic could move, I have a reception center over here, yeah so this is for me, maybe I go into detail later, I have here, I have for me, I marked it a little bit in colors the areas where you see a lot of development happening in the future, and as it is, right now it falls a little bit into place that where we have the chance to increase our forest area or greenbelt, we don't have much traffic as yet, we have a lot of traffic coming here with the villagers connecting, so here I would just see that I have a very careful filter traffic coming in, I also see that the outer ring is an important part of the whole road concept, so why not try to have it as an imprint on the ground, using it as a cycle path, using it as a tree walk, using it marked symbolically, not necessarily as your 30 meter wide road, for me personally this was one of the key drivers behind doing all of that work because if I would imagine I have a 30 meter wide road cutting through revelation, cutting through some riddy forest, a large part of what that part of Auroville has done in the last 53 years is gone, and it's not only about the numbers of trees but it's the destruction of a working singular biotope, so that for me was, but again, how, where can I work with the outer ring, for example, to make it meaningful, so we have the chance to bring it over here, we have the chance and the TDC is working on it, we can do the outer ring here, maybe we push it a little bit inside so that on both sides of the road we have Auroville land, here again I don't know, is it required to have the outer ring because I have a large traffic over here, maybe again it's just symbolically marked or it becomes, I don't know, I have the chance to really connect the industrial zone from Kotakarai, from Alankupam entrance over here can create a loop road, so with that system for me I thought there is a chance of working sensibly bringing in the required infrastructure, mobility wise right now, so that the city can grow for the next 10, 20, 25 years, next I'm sorry this is really, next, next, next please, so I rushed through it, so here these presentations will also be available I think on the internet if people want to refer more to it, so here are some of the key elements of this mobility proposal next, and for me is it still possible to see the galaxy, I can and I think a lot of the people who have seen it said similar, yes, next, so here it's a little bit more, you overlay it and you see that we have to then, and this is a lot of work and it's not possible to do that in six weeks, eight weeks, we have to see what the southern service node becomes, it will become a transport switch, you have parking, you have facilities, you have services, petrol banks, I don't know, you have an access control here at Sukavati, you have an access control here at Dana, you have an access control here and here, you create that loop, so it's pretty much the same map but zoomed in a little bit, this is a key part which will will host all the facilities we have to welcome visitors, I think we can't say we have, what was it, I think one million visitors every year, so we somehow have to accommodate, facilitate them, I'm not right now debating the the line of goodwill, it can play a very good role and I actually like the imprint on it, it's large, we have to see how it's possible but I think it's a daring gesture, so yeah, what I do also here is because, and this maybe people find provocative, but for me I would keep the existing road that we have over here, the road from Sertitut to Solar Kitchen, I would finally acknowledge that this road exists, it's there, I would pave it, I would also give people who have, hi Julio, who have their private interests next to that road like Madi and his sons or whatever is over here, I don't know the name, I would give them the chance to be integrated into Auroville, why not, so and then from here anyway the road is paved, I can use it very well and with that I can connect here around the lake which comes whatever shape it will take, I have my traffic much controlled, much less Auroville internal, I have here the traffic going on the crown, the cultural zone in my imagination being much more inward looking, much more focused on on e-mobility, slow traffic, pedestrian, so I would see a gradual decrease of traffic over here again the main traffic is here and it takes into perspective that ideally within the next 10 years we all switch to community transport e-mobility away from fossil fuel motorized vehicles, next yeah and then it really focuses in on the crown, so you have wherever I have like the solar kitchen round about here, I have the Vikas radial, here I have the end of the residential zone sector one, I have Kalabumi, so I could create on the crown with its changing character, I could create so again changing character of the crown, for me the crown is not a 16.7 meter wide road necessarily which is uniform cutting all around through that center it will change depending on what zone it goes through, if it crosses a green corridor, if it's largely for internal traffic, if it's industrial traffic for example here where I have the land owned by Michael Bonke where it's sometimes for example when it crosses Darkhally, ideally I would see it just and I come to that later if the time allows, I would just see it as the infrastructure going through a service road either on the ground or floating above the canopy, the same here in Blismar now we've created conditions so the high tension line goes in but still the the main traffic which wants to find its way can go on the existing road which then anyway goes further to the Dana road and connects to the green belt so and on all these areas I could have kind of different plazas next yeah so these plazas I could have a cultural zone plaza here where people meet, play, performances, I have a further access to the sports areas I have an horrible youth plaza with cultural facilities, info on youth activities, green work, expo, a transportation switch, I have the residential zone plaza and I think other presentations will focus on that area where I have a large change from individual traffic if I don't do it already here at the southern service node how much time do I still have? oh god okay so I have all these different plazas which to borrow one term could really become the jewels on the crown, jewels of the crown so yes next so what I then did in the next section so it's all just a focus in and that's still a lot of work to be done and I don't know how many of you looked at the presentation of Latter and Prashant which looked they divided the crown into eight segments and they analyzed the topographical part, they analyzed what are the boundaries, they analyzed the hydrological state and then they gave recommendations of the of the existing use and proposed use so I just copied it because I don't know how much it has been shared so far next so I just wrote down what they did because I think it's already a really good and both of them are town planners uh so it's already a really good kind of guideline catalog of what is and what can happen in the next few years next please so the same here we have the residential zone as I said three four and five sector three four and five the large part of the traffic could go around here which then makes this part of the crown similar like the crown like the crownway study it makes it really a very horrible internal slow traffic community space pedestrian cyclists immobility of course you have your delivery uh for ptdc and what other facilities come up here and I could have a really beautiful chain of of small plazas wherever they overlap or where I have a point of interest and I can have yeah neighborhood activity points community facilities tea shops what all hospital hospitality health facilities next so again next then I come to the international zone segment it was a long debate why I have here this loop road is it a master plan road or not I think it's why not it's a good road people have been working on it it seems a kind of logical access part of of the international zone it could extend here towards that road which goes around the lake here I have a very interesting plaza where a lot of people come in from from kota karai barati naga I have archaeological findings over there which could really be nicely exhibited next then I come to the dakali park segment for me it's really unthinkable to to bring in the traffic and I've shown in the next slide just keep it there right now how dakali stewards have thought about how it can be done so for me what I thought is the traffic we have the existing road over here I have the kali temple I could use part of that already paved quite beautiful road over here and then instead of going into kota karai I could develop a road along the fence of dakali and then come back and join the crowd at the crown at the language lab and then only I have the infrastructure going through this line of force one has to see how it develops and I think other people in our group looked at it is it a full building is it something else uh yeah next please next so this was one of the proposals of dakali who have been really so again to highlight that people have individually also been working on on looking at their areas of interest so they have been working here trying to find a way of how the cable and a kind of access road could go through dakali the parameters of tdc have also been changed over the years next please bypassing the water bodies which you have over here next these were different options which they did under pressure one is is just to find a way and just to collaborate and see like hey how can we protect what we have created here what it has a benefit which is really unique so you could have an idea you have a working thing on the you have an access path on the ground ideally following that that prepared road already you could have a motorable way on top with some loop public e-pods you could have a skywalk above the canopy next then downgrade it a little bit you have just your common flyover again you would have to define what comes but it still allows the wildlife to continue next or you go into the most I don't know grounded version but then you need to see how do you protect it they had done already they opened parts of it and then sorry give me two more minutes next next next so then we come this is the industrial zone next next next then we have the YC next there were a lot of yeah this is fine it's fine just next so there were already a lot of proposals done by the YC and the people from bliss and I think even though it has been cleared and the infrastructure has been laid in a circular pattern you still can do a lot around it we still have bliss forest which is not just a fawny woodland but you have really beautiful species of trees we could open up the forest create arboretums forest walks you still have the stage area the youth yeah what do I say I think we really have the responsibility of helping and supporting the youth to recreate these safe and joyful spaces that they deserve protected by the forest in the middle of the city and the crown will find its way so again it's all about the need to have these GDPs next this is then the cultural zone segment where I think we have this beautiful space Kalabumi it could extend it could connect to the sports facilities over here next next so what next for me is to collect the feedback not only the positive which I think is the point of the dream weverse to only give positive feedback but I'm happy to hear critical feedback for me very interesting would be to look at the at the aspect of infrastructure beyond mobility is it really required everywhere to have so many lines is a centralized system stronger than a combination of centralized and local systems what is more resilient I think resilience is for me one of the keywords any city has to deal with to see how so I would be happy to hear tomorrow how can what really is required in what given space see how other dream weverse can work are working on the ground see what can be the next steps and then work with interested stakeholders in some of the more sensitive areas that's it super fast okay so this is your time just feedback writing down the feedback that you have heard as your notes for tomorrow I'm not making notes I would just have a couple of minutes if there's any of the other dream weaving architects who want to offer feedback now just put your hand up if any of the other dream weaving architects want to do that otherwise it's fine Fabian your study has helped us since the beginning to look at the mobility at really at a grounded level with the layer of galaxy coming in and actually seeing how the galaxy is emerging even looking at the current context and for we really the steels would be the industrial zone arrival points that you are talking about which is a little bit still in the village but still to figure out how we can make it feasible and also what I found interesting was traffic which you moved around the Kali passing through that Kali temple and I think that could also create a very interesting space as a connection to the bio-region as well because there is a presence of Kali temple and thank you we have timing one more of the dream weaving architects wants to give any feedback okay in that case we can move on to Raj morning everyone my name is Raj I'm here to present give some real facts and get ready and hard hard to swallow words in fact so sit tight so looking at crown it's more than a road more than a street it's a trojan horse it could be a an opportunity for us to re-engage and build up a relationship with our surrounding so it's more than what it is I'm going to come back to this this could be a reality the future the residents in our bio-region receiving a credit or a crypto or a currency you could call but it's one we all we all it's Auroville so I'm going to come back to this one so it's been 54 years Auroville has established itself so it's a coming to a most conservative state in India Tamil Nadu and to establish itself so it's looked at more of inwards and to to inner development so now it's an opportunity to look beyond build more bridges so restructure some of the relationship so I would like to call this this is a beautiful words from the mother sorry you still didn't correct this typo yeah apologies there's a typo but the world remains the same hasn't changed the India has become the symbol of all difficulties of modern humanity it is the representation of all human difficulties on earth and it is in India that there will be the cure and it is for that that I was made to create Auroville it's beautifully said I think we need to take this opportunity Auroville is experimental we want to push that we want to look at it like how it can leave a footprint to beyond Auroville beyond our bio region to the India maybe to the rest of the world I think there's a real opportunity here for us to look at it so some of the key elements for us like water food and community today I am asking can these elements could be the core of city planning normally we don't as planners and architects we put other priorities into it but I want to see whether we can put this as in the core crown I look at it as a system point of view so it's a service corridor like the brief says it's infrastructure so what I'm looking at it is can infrastructure and architecture can be as have a symbiotic relationship can blur the boundaries between infrastructure and architecture so this is my and I've done some few looked at few case studies I would like to share with you guys so this is a picture from Mumbai it's a photo of infrastructure if you look at it you can you can pick five infrastructures here they are designed by engineers single use so this is we don't want to do it here we want to do something multi multi where it is more than one usage we could take out of infrastructure this is another piece of infrastructure infrastructure Central Park in New York it actually brings a huge value to the already built of a city around it's augmented the city creating an extra value of it this is one of my favorite it's also a piece of infrastructure but it is it is sitting perfectly with that road so there's a jumbo jet is crossing but there's a traffic lights on both sides so you have to stop for it to pass through so this infrastructure is being used for more than one it's in Gibraltar this is not a sci-fi movie this is real it's in Germany it's still there today a cable car so the beauty about this is it follows the natural course of water so the infrastructure is followed so there is that relationship here it's not on a grid you know as we see normally it's not on a grid so so again I'm looking at like how it could be in the part of in the core of planning which drives the water and the food community is a driving force of the planning so there are three elements let me start with the water so the story begins with the water so some hard facts this is a real issue this is by the United Nations so on a daily basis we as a residence of Auroville we consume between 150 liters to 378 liters of water on a daily basis this is what we consume we let it go through the drain so black and gray water and if you look at it globally 70% of that water is used for agriculture purpose now we all know this urbanization is taking an unprecedented rate in the years at the forefront by 2050 the majority of the population will be living in the urban context so that's the hard fact and some of the urbanization is the key driver for change of today and tomorrow just water by the way so that water is 378 up to liters of water it's through the drain can we do something about it we are heavily relying on rain water we are heavily relying on excavated water or bored water but there is a precious and water we are just letting it go so can we make use of this water so there is a small this is one of the one of the proposition a small company in Chennai looking at purifying or reclining black water through extracts through horrible extracts yes it is real so by using Tulsi, Neem, Kadukai and Murungalives extracts you can actually make it portable water with a few drops of it they had come to Auroville to demonstrate this one so I was there and you see one of a friend he's actually drank the water which has been purified and it went around I wasn't that brave enough but I did smell it it smelled of like Tirta you know from you know if you go to the temple you got Tulsi so that's what it smelled like but this is real so he's actually demonstrating in Chennai on a sewage he takes the water and it does the small experiment it's very quick it doesn't require a huge mechanical you know as we know today but it's real it's real so this process is actually fairly simple and it works within existing already a treatment if there is an existing treatment or there is a the water comes from the house the black and gray when I say black water it's from the toilet gray water is shower and kitchen waste kitchen water it comes to a tank and then the coagulant get mixed into that they extract and sediment which which which actually extract that sediment which is in a soil form it's also treated so it's a good fertilizer for agriculture it could be used as then the fresh water get fed into so now we're looking at this water going to the crown as a system as a small small a a a a pond so holding water around crown as a system of that so we're looking at as a as a built environment we have a crown and it is a circulating a dynamic water so the wastewater get treated locally in a small a small capacity then fed into fed into the crown and more from the industries and around crown come into this then treated water goes out of the crown so it's a dynamic you know it the the beauty about this is like you don't have to start all over all at one go it could be at increment incremental as we as we proceed as a city grows so now all of a sudden your bio region bit of an eyesore for us like for many reasons like whether it's mobility whether it's traffic in all of a sudden becomes an asset for this more people are using this water then we can actually treat that water and then we can bought back into it so now the bio region becomes a stakeholder in this what we do so they have a say in it so we have a relationship with it we have a relationship it the people who are so they have a say in this this is the beauty about this one and using that water portable drinking water then we begin to grow food in the areas beyond our bio region within bio region within automobile as a city so now once you have that sort of a water connecting to bio region now that water could be connecting back to the aries which is already an established system it's a very ancient system we have around if you look at much larger so they all somehow connected above ground below ground now that could be the Kaliwali dam could also be fed into so this water so if there is a heavy rain so these loop could take some of the water then distribute in according till so this little system of you know connecting black using treated water and and that could that could be spread across other cities also could be a small small network so you could also already there you begin to connect these from cities and some small regions so that could be a a system of network so this is little scenario of how built environment food production can actually emerge so there's a loop water which is circulating then you have built environment living also food production in built environment could be in high rise and the growing fields in between a couple of other cross sections so now oh no it's a gibberish language so so taking that elements the water so now looking into crown so this is a a natural nature interpretation center apologies for about the typo again it somehow it's just it must be the Linux I guess so looking at this sensory experience through elements water and and and food and so forth so we're looking at as a one of the place which is near youth center existing what is a a nature interpretation center so it's about studying it's about learning through our surrounding through sensors sensory experience day and night we're going to it's from all ages so there's a learning from a different different sensors so this is it's one of the radial this is the proposed element so now having that water as part of that infrastructure this is existing forest bliss forest you're walking through and key areas we are observing and kids would be looking at certain parts of it whether it's a frog or whether it's a cocoon of a butterfly or a tree root system or young leaves of popping up and so you're looking in in more detail so this is going below so you have is one of the this is a new deli I I step well similar similar idea so you have water on both side you're coming down to a space within so you have water here you're looking at a a installation of root now how tree root could be cut across and actually you get to see we don't get to see often what's been not below the ground so this is a huge installation here so you see the water on the side and you're going down into the subterrain this is the entry and this is inside you're looking at the sky and the water and there's beautiful space this is a above the ground you have it's a music instrument you're actually collecting water wind transforming into a music sensual experience below the ground so looking at food this is another case study I did so this is a cork in island where a butter factory provided employment for women and then how that actually changed the the demography and the socio background in cork so the food left a major impact in this in this in this little town and this in Bangladesh how it used to be a river and due to global warming and salinity how they're restructuring the food production it's a floating bed and this is a very century old tradition so they are coming back with it so again how we are reconfiguring ourselves to to the needs this is a very interesting restaurant this is in Venice in Italy a plateau it's a small shack so what it is if you go there it's only eight people can fit in you go inside the net goes down you actually catch whatever it could be crab could be shell could be fish and be cooked straight away so this is an experience with the food so you may not like it but it's the experience of it so I really like this called from Buckminster Fila you never change things by fighting the existing reality to change something build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete so I'm looking about looking at the food I'm looking at food it's how it's connected to mobility so it's a small glimpse of like what's the trend is like so if you look at quality palm on the weekends you will see these number plates self-driving cars people are coming from Delhi sorry not Delhi not yet Bangalore, Chennai coming here to experience food purely food so there are three four listed they have lists so they need to have a breakfast lunch so it's all set so they come for the weekend five six people drive from from this normally young people so it gives me a little trend what it's like to be in the what it's like in the future what this food can be automobile has a multi cuisine around here so and I want to see how this could be taken to a next level let's say because it's directly connected to mobility let's say this few key restaurants within the automobile road we relocate them to a place where it's more easy to approach a better parking and a more robust relationship so what you're looking at is food being consumed but same time you're looking at where it's been grown how it's been grown how the food actually gets on the table so a beyond relationship as food as its own this few like sustains farm marks cafe tanto let's say let's take these and and put it to a farm land where there's actually food is growing so that's actually near Irrumbai tank close to the Tiruvannam bypass so these new restaurants could be on a on a small footprint they're touching the ground lightly like Glenn Merkett says so there could be above the ground and on stilts on stumps but they could be in farm land where the burns are so these are the new restaurants could be this is one how restaurant is actually meandering where on the existing bond so you're looking at through the through the field so you're not only actually being in the farmland you're creating a ecosystem for people to grow what you need so it goes beyond that so you're creating a demand so people who haven't been growing they can actually see what's the trend what's the demand they begin to start supporting to your restaurant because you have the demand there you have the market there itself this is one of the experience where you're sitting down and you have forest in the open field and water and it's on stilts so you're not actually deserving a lot on the ground so a new reality where we are utilizing black water we're building a relationship with the consumers all the stakeholders in this case bio region so we have a direct relationship direct dialogue on with them and us so it's not about that it's all of us so automobile sits in in this patch of southern states of India and it's so rich it's a tapestry of richness all around us and it only makes sense to integrate and to build more bridges and to build with that I think it's really a great opportunity this crown for us to rethink about our relationship with the surrounding key elements like food water and community with that I want to ask can we put this really really important issues into the driving force of the planning today thank you very much thank you Raj and thank you for keeping on time as well it's much appreciated so everyone has five minutes now for some silent reflection if anybody doesn't have a form or a pen please put your hand up and someone from the team will come and help for Sonali we just have a few moments any of the dream weaving architects want to give any feedback on what they heard okay thank you for the feedback for tomorrow okay in case we can move on to Sonali so welcome to Sonali so how how do I do that I have to tell you every time next next anyway thank you for this opportunity and I'm actually jumping directly in the week four I couldn't present in the week two but thanks to the efficient citizens assembly team and the facilitators I could watch all the presentations online and hopefully I have managed to share these ideas in the presentation which I am going to do today next one okay it's working down arrow yeah so press only once and then it takes like a few seconds okay so don't press several times sure this was my first dream catching experience experience and I must say it was quite enlightening and when we did this dream catching experience we talked about what is actually crown what ma what crown means to us so these are some of the keywords which came to us and social hub is the most important thing because we have so many people and we actually hardly managed to meet them so crown is not just a road or a street but it's a social hub and which connects all of us so human experience is the key element of crown we all can relate to these pictures and the most important of all these pictures is the diversity of these experiences which we are imagining to have on the crown so I will not go into the details of all of these but how do we manage to have this diversity on the crown so how do we envision the life of the crown in the galaxy context I hope I managed to deliver this right so the unique thing about the galaxy concept is that the crown kind kind of sits in a place where it connects this is the only element of the galaxy which connects all the zones and it already provides that opportunity to have the varied experiences because it not only passes through the zones but it also passes through four parks so already galaxy context gives the opportunity to provide for all these varied experiences and when you see the crown somehow when we actually kind of try to displace it or shift it probably there will be no galaxy because it is kind of the this is the only unifying element in the entire plan and when we see Rojya Anja's sketches thanks to all the translations by Mari that Rojya talks about this is not a barrier but is actually a transition space from the city to the inner city and when you see the inner city it is having like a park-like quality and the density shifts and it has all free form or isolated buildings so it is this the crown is actually providing the passage to the inner city and that's why compactness, porous and harmony in building language which he is talking about becomes very important and what we see is crown buildings are all visually connected to the center of this park which is Matramandir we talked about connection to the center connections continuity so all these aspects are reflected in this sketch and probably when we talk when we walk on the crown buildings we could see Matramandir because there is hardly 300 to 400 meters distance from the lake to the crown buildings so this is the section which is through the crown buildings which is given by ATDC and it has two components one is right of way and one is crown buildings so what actually the crown corridor is not just the right of way but it also has buildings which are 20 to 35 meters in deep and they can actually go deeper in the park if the architect allows for it so what is right of way so right of way is not just right of way can be anything so right of way is not just a street but it can have these varied experiences so it can have lanes it can have different surface textures it can have shared space so it becomes like an outdoor room it's not just a place where people are actually going and commuting so the uniqueness again when you try to observe this section the buildings are kind of facing they're back to the crown and they are actually looking onto the inner street on the inner pedestrian path and you see that there is a lot of life happening inside these crown buildings and again in this particular section the buildings are stilted so you see the porosity the green is flowing people can walk through so this is the connection between the outer crown street and the inner street so the porosity is actually quite important and the buildings are connected so these are the three different elements which I saw in this section so how actually this can look like if we try to visualize that I mean this is just an example it can be anything but this could this could be the scale of the crown street and the bicycle lane and the pedestrian street can look something like that the scale of the pedestrian street and the crown street is different so this is another example so the pedestrian street can have all the life with market spaces and the crown buildings and the bicycle lane still continues so the crown street being the scale as this it can open up or narrow down so this is actually the sketch of the Ahmedabad poles and if you walk through old cities in Indian towns there is very much this kind of character where the lane opens up and it looks like organic but that organic is actually I mean what we need to do is that plan that organic so what is happening in this state is because of the scale the buildings are already providing the shade and it is actually making you walk and pass through and this is the scale of the crown street so the crown street can also have arcades where people can walk through so the buildings can provide that facility to walk and what is this is the porosity element so this can be I mean this is just an example to show that the connection of the inner street and the outer street is can be through these porticoes and also the street is interspersed by parks so when you are this is not like a monotonous street but it has these elements on the way where you suddenly see green and it is actually it can be like New York Highline where the green is flowing up or actually the crown is passing through the green so I referred to the city center proposal by Anupama Kundu which was done in 2007 and here if we see the road network hierarchy most of the city center is actually a zone for pedestrian so that's why the crown actually becomes an important mobility element and the important thing is again the circulation which is actually shown in this red thing which is actually connecting the entire crown so even if the buildings are not actually connected the street actually makes you like a unifying pass through all the buildings so again for DDP input so what is DDP so I did two case studies to be able to do I mean to understand what actually DDP requires we have to imagine how these buildings will fit on the crown and what are these buildings doing on the crown so this is again an example of Ahmedabad pole and here you see the street actually opens up in squares neighborhood squares and narrows down and this is actually an example from Balona if you see again this is the main street and there are inner streets and the green is passing through and there are again small pockets of green or negative spaces formed inside so if we I took this as an example it's just an example just to understand what to imagine the life on the crown so this is actually a 200 meter diameter circle on the east-west axis this is actually a part where I think gaya radial will be and there are a lot of kaya trees there so if we let's say try to imagine this life on the crown you already see parts of trees and the buildings are set back and the green is forming inside so just to imagine how these existing patterns if we are overlaying on the crown what the life will be this was just an example to imagine how this these buildings are related to the crown and then we start getting patterns like that which are with trees paved areas and then I try to draw actually some examples myself with these things which are constant there are trees and the right of way and the building lines which are given so we can get patterns like that which Roje was talking about so this actually has the succession of buildings with transparency and ease and it can actually accommodate all the watershed trees and everything and the import I mean the uniqueness is even if the road is circular you can actually achieve this with orthogonal forms and still have the compactness and porosity with the inner and the outer street so then you can start following the line of the setbacks and you can start getting hierarchy of spaces so some of the buildings can be even stilted and you can pass under so you can actually create unifying passing space and we talked Shailaja talked about positively defined public spaces so actually buildings form this and we can get properly shaped negative spaces where actually most of the life is like meeting and circulation points and this can accommodate green urban farming or watersheds depending upon the particular zone and the particular site and it can also actually accommodate these shoulders because the buildings are they don't have to actually have a one line sitting on the crown all the time it can accommodate trees existing trees and even have create these shoulders which are important for actually the meeting points of the radials and the parking zones and actually it doesn't limit us you can have any form so the form is not limited architects can actually express with liberty and creativity in the same framework lot of forms are possible possible to create this language so if we start kind of listing the elements of the crown buildings we can have solar panels which we talked about which we learned about in the energy there will be viewpoints urban farming water catchments the inner street tree covers and circulation and the porosity between the inner and the outer street so this is just an example I wanted to draw an architectural exercise so that I can imagine how that could be and these are different elements so again you can see that the buildings are connected horizontally and vertically so you can accommodate in the volumes all these aspects and it actually creates varied but unified buildings so again I mean this is the existing reality let's say we have trees there are canyons porambuk lands water sheets and everything so this is if we start calling it let's say plot now crown plot it's approximately 5000 square meters 35 meters by 150 if you leave the spaces on both sides what we have actually in different zones have different functions so this language can be interpreted with the building typologies because the plots can vary they can become smaller plots depending upon the usage or become bigger and we can define the functions in different zones and this is just an exercise that if we actually try to interpret that language in the entire crown it actually gives you that possibility to create many things and these are some of the Christopher Alexander's pattern language which Henrik shared and all of these things which we can actually define in this pattern language so we actually to define DDP which can look like plant organic which we have to create an abstract structure so this kind of pattern language can actually lead to something like that which we were talking about earlier street as a room or arcade buildings and neighborhood squares so input for DDP will be again clarity in urban design defining this pattern language again not cold bylaws but maybe deeper principles allowing liberty and again architects are free to express how they interpret that pattern language incorporating ground reality and when we see historic towns have this architectural features or building pallets which repeat and that's how it gives them kind of a unified character so probably we need to define that also so we actually create that character and again last we shouldn't forget that this is not just the city of DDPs and urban designs it's actually a city which is actually already envisioned by the mother and she calls it the symbol of progressive unity so I hope that crown becomes a symbol of progressive unity thank you thank you Sonali so again we have five minutes for people to just individually write down their reflections again if anybody doesn't have a form or a pen just put your hand up and someone from the team will come and help okay um so if any of the uh dream weaving architects have any comments any feedback they would like to share thank you Sonali it was very interesting to see the examples you gave from Ahmedabad pole housing and Bolona and the way you super superimpose them on crown and the spaces that thereby over a floor through were very beautiful and I would like to steal your um interweaving also from the spaces from form space and order that you took I would like to see a change in the feel of the crown as it passes through different zones if you could you know further think about that as it passes through different zones how it would change in its feel and I would be very happy to see how you would think of connecting it across the road space along was very beautifully done and it was very beautifully seen how different possibilities exist despite the road but it would be nice to see how we can also go across the road any other feedback any other architects want to share okay um so thank you Sonali so we can um break for tea soon the tea is still being set up it will be in this outside area unless there's anything David or Mona want to add at the moment okay great we will call you back in it when we're finished for tea it will probably be around 10 30 but we'll ring the bell so just keep your ears peeled for that and yeah teas and coffees and snacks should be out there fairly soon okay thank you okay so uh welcome back everybody and um our first presentation of the break is Radhika and Shivangi so welcome good morning my name is Radhika hello I'm Shivangi so when we started this exercise started analyzing looking into the galaxy and into the master plan and one thing that both of us strongly felt and that's how we also came together working together is this sense of um orienting ourselves to give a directionality because if you look at the cover of the master plan it's as the plan is dynamic it's it's very difficult to figure out where the north is and actually if you look at this the axis yeah so that's the north south axis of the matrimandir and for the initial few exploration it was almost like oh the north is actually the park and not the industrial zone but then slowly slowly we got this confirmation that no the north is actually up here towards the industrial zone so yeah so I think that's one of the things that we would we learn and we would strongly also put forward that in the future master plans and coming studies we kind of orient ourselves not because that's kind of an international practice to have that and it's easy to ground ourselves as well and also like radhika mentioned this also came from the space where we both were working differently and trying to figure out how the space of the the form of the galaxy which is circular which is dynamic can still give us some sense of groundedness so when we work with this idea of directionality and the grounding we really felt the orientation being the first fact of being a first inquiry that we want to make and that is what also led us to the next steps of discovering what different things have been said about the different directions and the model itself so we started going back to the base and studying what is the vision from the mother and how roger took it so this was the first sketch and I think the initial idea was to have the industrial zone towards the east towards the sea with four industrial zones and yeah a lot of those ideas but then when roger came back in 1965 with his first report after the many studies he gave some pointers and one of the first one was to relocate the zones for accessibility and possibilities of extension so that's how the industrial zone became north and mother has given the directional symbolism and also shape symbolism to these zones so the north we have a mahali industrial zone which has square and the color is seven colors of rainbow which represents seven represents realization then on the east is the cultural zone so this got swapped the international and cultural so on the east is the cultural zone and the shape is circle which means integral power with the color pale orange then on the south residential zone the shape given was hexagon which signifies perfect creation then on the west is the international zone mahasaraswati triangle representing wisdom so this really kind of gave us an inspiration you know because what is the essence of all of these quality and how do we bring that to our zones and both of us we are also vastu shastra students so we also kind of tried to draw parallels between them and then it was very interesting exercise and then we saw that if we look at the north it says it signifies prosperity when we go northeast nurturance east life energy southeast spiritual energies on the south is more spiritual growth southwest signifies wisdom west is physical growth and expansion where there is the international zone then on the northwest is intellectual growth and creativity and then also other thing which also came up in one of the expert presentations about these concentric rings in a typical traditional town planning where the center is kind of a very potent it holds a very potent energy and often it is left for sacred prisons or sacred groves and then as we move along and as we go towards the outside there are zones so after the center there is the more public services more administrative services and then comes the habitation and then comes the outside relationships so yeah I mean we tried to see also that when we study the different significance and the representation that was given by the mother and what the cosmology in the Vastu Shastra says we really felt that there are a lot of parallels to be drawn between the two and also our understanding like Radhika mentioned the center being the potent energy and the center being free in some way we really see that already in Auroville that the center is not a built mass the center is the banyan tree which is the free center and that gave us another inspiration to really look at the cosmology and then see how the different what we call here the padas the different zones are there and it's interesting to see how the crown that we are now exploring is into the Devika Pada which like Radhika mentioned is about the public services and the administration that's there after which comes the Manushe Pada where the residence is and where the habitation happens so it's really that transition between the center which is dedicated to the divine energy and then the space which is for the habitation and the space between the two is really that transition that we are now exploring and then when we started looking at the existing layers also we are thinking of the physical space and at the same time us occupying our spaces we as transitional beings what was kind of there before where we are at and what this future aspiring galaxy towards which we are moving so we are also looking at how to manifest this cosmic city with material awareness of the present context so there are some layers like the archaeological site there is the Kali Temple there is also another archaeological findings which were done in this zone and then there is the timeless Banyan which is giving us a kind of a base and then we are here with all of our current developments and then we have our aspirations so we are also looking at how we transition between these time zones how do we facilitate this transition between the time zones right and the ritual I mean also that these kind of like Radhika mentioned the idea is to look into the physical space at the same time what we call the Kala Purusha the space which comes through us through time so we are exploring into that and we thought that again another important aspect to look at is the rituals because the rituals are integral part of the Vastu and they also create spaces which are adaptive eventually there are shift in spaces according to the seasons according to the influence of the planets and we thought it's an important inquiry to look into where how do we transition between what has been there what is grounding us what is currently here and what do we aspire to look at and here we see some pictures of the Kali Temple so we did that visit and we really felt it's a very important inspiration we have very close to the crown within the 100 meters of the crown and if you see the image like the most on the right that's an image of a little tree in the Kali Temple where the tree has been given some space to really grow even in middle of the built structure so there is a little cut out that's there for the tree to grow but that's the built space of the temple then next picture which is not so clear but if you see on the left of the picture there is a water body that's there so it's a water catchment which has been not exactly given a clear geometric form but when we go there we really see like it's one of those squarish water bodies that I mean that could be converted into some kind of a kund eventually and then the third is what is there on the other side of the temple where it is surrounded by trees around so actually if you see the backside of this image is where the road that we all access right now to Pune Farm is so the temple is very very close to that road but we don't see it also because there is this whole idea of sacred groves around the temple so what we felt was the temple complex itself which is nearby the crown there is already an inspiration with it being a complex where there is a built space there is also the incorporation of the water body that's there and the sacred groves the trees that are around so we thought that acknowledgement of this is very important here so when we started looking at all this and we automatically felt called towards focusing on industrial zone looking at especially now that we're looking at development and moving towards a self-supporting community not also representing prosperity we thought it's actually it would be very interesting to strengthen our industrial zone and this is also a zone mentioned by Nicole it's an inward-looking zone when we had the talk from Nicole it's really the zone where we are looking inward we are at service so yeah and also at a very principal level this matter spirit evolution can start manifesting at this in this zone so when we thought about looking in detail at the industrial zone we also thought that while we look at the zone by itself it's also important to see how it connects with the zones on the other sides and it was interesting to see how many many other dream weaving architects resonated with it when we presented it last time of how the zones could actually start merging in some way so this is a little diagram down there which shows that there are different activities happening in the industrial zone but there are also some act spillover of some activities from the cultural zone and from the international zone that is happening onto the crown so it really shows the coming together of the crown for the different zones so for the activities we thought that as we move from the international zone it could really have some spaces of the institutional memory it could have some exhibition spaces which is coming from the exchanges that happens through the international zone which are reflected onto the industrial zone then the spaces where and then there are spaces like where people working in the industrial zone can come together they come together to have tea there are lounge spaces like that there are co-working spaces there are some cafes which are maybe not so far away yet more of the community spaces that are there then we just got a picture of something saying community clothing but the idea is that there is some kind of shopping that happens within the industrial zone that's more for the people who are working there and more for the interaction that could happen within the zone then facilities like having laundry during the day there and then as we move towards the cultural zone it could be more of the cultural zones spillover that could start happening onto the crown of the industrial zone so that could mean some kind of market some kind of exchange through the vocational trainings exchange through exchanging of skills and things like that and this is the exploration we had and then we thought that this is all the activities about the day how about the night we can have something more at the night where we are kind of integrating further the cultural zone and international zone into the industrial zone because we do have the infrastructure and in the night when there are when a zone which is more about the service and more about work might become suddenly empty and to add to the security layer of the zone it would be interesting to add more elements from the cultural zone spillover for example there is a concert in the cultural zone but the night market and the food stall after or some kind of gathering after happens into the industrial zone so if you see the little sketch that was there before has now slightly changed with more of the merging of the activities from the cultural zone and also from the international zone so we thought that there could be a full spectrum of activities like the stargazing sessions some camping sites some kind of bonfires some kind of sacred circles some kind of working together or sharing together some kind of a night walks a night market so we really thought that that kind of presence into the industrial zone in the night and be able to use the infrastructure that we have would be important to see Yeah another thing was also that when we so it's it's in a way not just industrial zone we also felt that this should kind of happen in the other zones as well to make the zone integral in itself so that all the zones work together as a city so there are these connections so some parts of some functions some activities from other zones also happen in the adjacent zone so that it's kind of integral in itself and that's how the whole thing can work well together and then as we dive deeper into the industrial zone we thought it's also important to start very broadly classifying what kind of activities in the industrial zone happens towards the center and what happens towards the outside so as we're leading towards the center more towards the peace area more quieter activities like the artistic liars co-working spaces things like that we thought could be more onto the inside of the industrial zone while on the outside it could be more of the production units the manufacturing activities and it was rightly mentioned also pointed out by David last time that it's interesting that because the line of forces are also planned somehow in this way the higher part of the line of forces are more towards the center so they could be more for the activities that require less of movement of the trucks or less of movement of the other vehicular movement that is there and the manufacturing really happens more towards the end of the line of forces where the heights of the buildings are lower and that way it's more connected to the ground there yeah and then we talk about the industrial zone the very important layer to look at would be mobility so like already Radhika has acknowledged that thanks to Fabian that we could really use that as a base to start working on it so this is really a sketch on top of Fabian diagram where we try to understand what are the different connections that we have so you see the the orange spaces are the different villages we have Kulapalem down there we have Bomarpalem, Kalapet the three villages on the top Sanjeevi Nagar, Alankupam and Kota Karai and then the Koot Road so we and the Edin Chavri of course so we see that there are these different villages from and currently we have a huge part of our working people our working population which we also include in a part of our population so we can kind of also say that we are not 3,500 we are really many more than that because we have that working population coming together so we see that those people are coming from these different zones and just from the same diagram that Fabian had we mark some of the points where it's intersecting with the with the outer circle that we have of the green belt and then we see how the green belt is kind of a little connection at the same time also a little protection that's there to kind of filter what comes into the city of the city of Auroville so then we have the other purple color which has the points where the roads that are coming through the green belt are connecting the outer ring road that's there and then of course the different roads the current roads that come and connect us to the crown so we really thought that now that since we are looking more at the industrial zone we picked up these few things like the loop that Fabian showed and also was somewhere a part of the Bellinger study where there were loops to kind of not have the heavy traffic and all come to the crown so we really thought that kind of a loop is very important but not just the loop if you see these red boxes around we also thought that some kind of spaces starts to needs to come around it which could accommodate for things like parking some kind of plaza that can start having that kind of filter happening and it's not just the loop that not just the road but just showing that filter but really these kind of spaces like for example this radio that we already have part of it built from Kutakarai coming all over to the crown and actually connecting to the admin zone eventually if there is a little space before that which allows parking which allows you to transition from one mode of the transport to the another would really help us also to transition like what also Fabian was mentioning in 10 years we should look at how we can move from the motorized traffic to the more eco-friendly ways of that and if we really create some spaces like that we would be able to make that transition and then while doing this there was another inquiry that we had and we kind of so then we also had this inquiry and we thought like it's important to see that this the previous one was more like the current scenario but as we move forward these these junction points might be a little different they might be exactly the the junction points of the radials at the crown the junction points of the radials on the outer ring road and also what we thought that as we move forward we really need to look at many more connections within the city because as we grow we're going to be 50,000 people we are going to have most of us working in the industrial zone and the connections from the villages will still be there but it won't be directly proportional to what is today if we are 3000 and we have 10,000 workers or 7,000 workers that won't be the same kind of proportion that we would have so we really need to as we move forward look at many more connections within the city that are there and we thought that for now we can have our cycle paths our footpaths remain the same so that we keep on still investigating on these ideas of how we connect within the city so then when we started looking at the crown and industrial zone little bit more into detail we see that there are so many of these intersections the line of forces there are radials and how they intersect and how these intersections will actually create spaces and important spaces and then if we also like we were mentioning a little bit earlier how the seasonal ships changes the character of the crown also so then and how then the adaptive activities can start taking place in this stretch so yeah so when we see like there is there is the park intersection there are line of forces and then there is park on the other side and then connecting to the other zones on the sides so when we when we look at the parks it's really like crucial points where we would like to filter out and like something like green gateways can come in where they also become anchor points where we know that now we are transitioning and it also filters out the heavy motorized traffic perhaps to a more you know filtered and more less polluting and less less impact traffic which goes in the zone and then these these again we can also play with textures of the crown itself so these can be the the poor dirt concrete streets and and then yeah and so on the on the Mahasaraswati park it can become an educational park it can start having many more educational activities and there is already the Akali fitness which we can see how to integrate that and then how to make it more accessible as well and on the other side how this intersection with industrial and cultural zone so how like the the vocational training and the handicraft activities can start merging together and so one thing that we've been brainstorming a lot about is how do we like if we want to keep this transitioning character of the crown how do we you know with with the section that was given to us and how do we actually try to move ahead without compromising too much on the character of this filtration of the intersections and all of that so what we try to do is to keep this center of the crown and there is an existing layer of the ht line infrastructure so perhaps first identify the the different kind of infrastructure which can be decentralized so that that doesn't need to come on the crown and so D-WATS is one of the we believe a very successful example so we don't need to really have a sewage network around here but we can actually start having zones take care of the sewage themselves and we also had a quick chat with Jill Bulliko and then he also suggested that yes like it it can be worked out quite nice modular systems yeah and then to have instead of spread out five minutes no okay yeah just to finish perhaps to instead of having a spread out system of infrastructure a little bit inspired from Eric's study that was given to us to have a trench rack system which can be adapted and also in future flexible enough to to you know repair or change and yeah so to have that kind of flexible system and then to have a three meter around that for service road motorized road and then the the crown itself can keep changing because it keeps changing throughout like so okay maybe we don't have the time but anyways it's it's our next step of exploration to see how this center comes in and out of this yeah I mean basically it's yeah to we've identified the sections like we were mentioning before and then we would so there are the existing scenarios and then to actually start seeing how crown can transition I think yeah maybe we can stop here yeah maybe just try to also mean the next step would be to also start placing the whole idea of activities onto these sections and start seeing these transitions while we spoke about and we have to work with the scale yeah yeah we do have some tiny but it's really interesting to see the scale of line of forces that is projected and how you know in future how do we thank you okay thank you very much so we have a few moments for everybody just to note down their individual feedback so they'll have that for tomorrow the feedback sessions hi yeah better hi Radhika, hi Shivangi loved your presentation especially the what the steel is for me is the distribution of the functions and the industrial zone and how you think about it I think that was very nice for me and the second thing was the whole vast two aspect it's something which I never even thought of so it was good to see that you know and see what happens there and yeah I love the way you both present it's like terrifying when I have to come after you guys thanks are there any yeah thank you very much it was very nice and inspiring I really appreciate to see life during the day and the life during the night of the same space and for me I will steal it for sure it reconciliates myself with a very abstract and dry aspect of the zoning to say that industrial zone well okay it's for industrial but it's also merging with this one merging with this one connecting with the park and it has a life through the day and it brings different activities not only typically is an industrial one and yeah I really appreciate that and also the fact that you consider some infrastructure to be decentralized which means you suddenly don't need anymore a connection of a four kilometers of some cable pipe or whatever but it's something which is more connected it's not anymore in the length of the crown road but it's connecting both side and I think it's also what we saw with Raj's presentation which suddenly it brings a life toward the crown in the transversal way and not so long to do thank you any more dream weaving architects want to share anything they want to steal okay thank you very much okay so up next we have Ganesh and Neha so welcome because behind you is the video projector yeah this one I think we can open later or maybe later no no maybe when we talk about it at the time we just want to speak about this event yeah when we when we talk we can kind of show it I think so. I took rescue remedy. Yeah, click which one? Index click, yeah, from your right hand. Okay, that's good. And it moves. Yeah. So it takes a few seconds. Wait, yeah. And you wait, and the image is done a little. Sounds good. Hi, everybody. Yeah. So we've done this a few times. So it's almost, for me, very embarrassing to repeat the same thing. But because there are new people, so I think we have to do it. And yeah, here goes. So what we've tried to do is actually look at the galaxy without any notion. Just looking at it. That was the first exercise which we tried to do. And what you realize is there are many versions of the galaxy. Like this one, the blue one is from the master plan document. This one is the model in the town hall. This one I think was the previous model which was in the town hall. The small one which is now in New York. Yeah. So what you see is from each one, there is a slight variation from one to the other. Yeah. But when we look at it, we always call it the galaxy. But it changes, yeah. And that was something very good insight for us. That, you know, it's more about how you feel about it and what comes through rather than the actual lines. So that was one important insight. And what we've tried to do in this exercise is come up with certain insights which might help the DDP team to hopefully incorporate in their own way. This, yeah, this we feel is very important. This is a geometry or the grid of the galaxy. So what happens is when you look at the line of force here and the line of force there, both of them have a very different geometry. And I think it's very important for us to kind of recognize that. And especially when the line of force comes on the crown, you get these kind of intersections happening, which become very... Ah, it's okay. Yeah. So if you see the, you have, that line of force is one geometry. These line of forces are the other. The cultural zone is 60, 120, 180, that geometry. And then the crown itself is kind of radial geometry, yeah. And what's interesting for us is the intersections of geometry. When you look at the crown, yeah, that's where we are right now. Now, what is the crown? I mean, we just took this and colored. So it's actually, when you look at it, it's a string of buildings. But when you look at it carefully, more than a string of buildings, it's a building which is a string, yeah. So even though it's a town plan problem, I feel whenever I start working on it, it's actually an architectural problem in many ways, yeah. You have to go really deep in, solve it, come back. So it's a, so that insight was it's not town planning, of course, is important and it's there. But I see it as an architectural, almost a single building, yeah. Single building which many people build over many decades, yeah. That's the aim. So in the master plan document, you have this kind of amorphous things. So if you see, I think it's the... This is a 1969 document. So it kind of breaks. And even there, this is from the model itself. Where the international zone happens, it kind of breaks. I mean, we have connected it for this particular model. But it's one string. So what comes through to us from this is the edge, which is important. So the crown is not a, it's not a ring per se as a, as a tire or something like that, yeah. It's something else. And this I think we need to recognize. And the edges, we feel very crucial or super important actually. So the next thing after looking, what we did was we actually drew it, yeah. Drawing in the sense, we just actually drew it. So what you see here is not the actual galaxy which you saw in the previous slides. But it's something which we kind of took inspiration from that and we did, yeah. So in a way, this is another galaxy, but it's the same galaxy, but it's another version of it, yeah. And what we realized is when you do this, no, it's like when you sketch somebody's face, you see so much, yeah. It's the same. When you like, when you're here, for instance, and you're coloring this green spot, you think, you know, what is in the green spot? Why am I coloring it? You know, what tree is this? All those things kind of come through here. Now I'm losing it. You want to say something here? Okay. So the inferences which we kind of drew from this looking and drawing act was it's a continuous built form built by different architects over a period of time. And how do you make a single building which different people built and still looks cohesive? So one idea was if you have to reference your neighbor, that is a given. But what would be more interesting is if you take a palette from one building and when you're designing something next to it. See, for example, this building has, you know, three materials as a palette. You need to take at least one of this when you do the neighboring building. So once you do that, you get a very cool kind of variation which will automatically happen without really enforcing or, you know, giving a rule to somebody. And connections at the roof. I mean, that's pretty obvious when you look at it. It looks like it's all connected. Boundary definition, dynamic crown edge. So this is what we got when we looked at it. And one thing was you find that it's dense in some parts and it kind of Peters down in some. So that's an interesting aspect to kind of hold as well. Yeah. It's okay. So now what we're trying to do is take that learning and try to kind of merge or integrate with this. This is what we're trying to do. This is the aim of the project. So there were two aspects to it. So we were talking about the concept so far and we're trying to then see the context and somehow try to integrate both and see where it takes us. Yeah. And our whole presentation, I forgot to tell you, initially we have this whole thing about how we see the galaxy. Then we talk about the Akali. Then we'll talk about the road itself, how we see it. So that's how we kind of spread it out. So this is an interesting thing. So the crown is about 4.3 kilometers walk. Yeah. And for me, it's very important that when you walk 4.3, you don't get bored. Yeah. So it has to be there has to be variation. So what I'm saying when I say board is there is a certain sense of experience when you walk and say Pondi. Yeah. You walk on the street and you have buildings here, different heights maybe, but that's the experience. Yeah. What the crown, at least from looking at it tells us is because you walk your space where you walk. Yeah. Because the road is not very apparent when you look at the galaxy drawing, but we have to assume it's there or the street, whatever you call it. So when you go through there, you have things above your head and you go through and then suddenly you have an open space where you get light and you go. So a lot of things happening in section. So that is coming from the section, but also from the place where it travels through. Like here, the lines of force are very dense here in the residential zone and in the industrial zone. And then what happens when you go from, you know, the international zone to say through dark Ali to the industrial zone and all this, which we have. Yeah. The locations through which we pass in the crown, we have to see them as an asset. Yeah. So that is an asset of experience. That's how we see it right now. So this is a very important drawing for us. So if you take the crown, I mean, when you do the negative of the model, yeah, this is what you get. And this is what is one of the key things which we're trying to integrate in our next slides is how do you, what happens here between the buildings, what's shown as green and blue right now. What are those spaces because those are the spaces which actually for us define the crown. The buildings, of course, is an extra layer, but these kind of hold the whole thing together. And this is something which we can do now. We don't need to wait for the money and everything for the buildings to come. You can almost experience the crown today if we do something like this and actually imagine the buildings also, which might come, I don't know, 20 years down the line. So at the moment you're flipping between context and concept. So from the context of the location of the zoning of what's happening on on the planet. So we went back to the concept. Yeah. Now we want to take it forward again and see how now we go back to the context of it and trying to look at the water streams. We just looked at them and seeing how that concept of the green and blue galaxy can really come on the ground today. Yeah. Ideally, all the water bodies, all the water catchments would actually be on the inner side. So somehow catch it here in a larger catchment pond or here and then perhaps have overflows on the other side or have different means of collecting water and get that green and blue infrastructure in. Yeah. So the point of intersection of the natural runoff streams with the crown becomes surface water catchments were reused after filtration. So it was the emergency of water was made very obvious in the last several weeks. So really catch it and reuse it in not just gardening but also flushing and any other domestic purposes. And these would not be the only solution. These would also be a part of a larger multi-pronged water strategy where harvesting of roof runoff sewage water reuse like Raj mentioned. Then desalinated water network can be a part of a secondary or tertiary or primary. I don't know. And percolation of course. So everything needs to actually work from what we've seen people speak the last several weeks. So looking at the at the water streams that come, the one thing that really said, oh my God, they're all going. Where are they all going? They were all sort of going to this one line of force which happens to be at the meeting point of these water streams. So we would like to call it the line of force, the line of force of life. So it's an industrial zone, inverse line of force that is expressed by carving into the earth rather than really building over it. This is a tricky image. So water also represents emotion. So I invite you to really look at what that brings out and just notice it. Okay, let it go. Then I'll try to explain. Okay, it's on a look. So what we're trying to do now is with this whole water being caught along the crown and the green areas are actually identifying important trees. All along the crown. And then asking an expert on trees to say if I'm to build near this tree, what is the distance I should respect. So that is the input which I think we should get from them and then create the green and the blue kind of void spaces first. And then to represent the galaxy, well invite. These are all probably different buildings which will be built over different times. And each one is probably built by a different architect. But if we have some plan in mind already respecting the blue and the green, this once it's all done will all come together to get closer to the galaxy image which we talk about. And what's interesting when you look at something like this is it's almost you wouldn't know who built what and which I think is actually pretty cool. And the the roofs connect the material thing can happen. So it's it's one strategy you can say which we are trying to kind of look into and what if you look at the section. There is another thing where when we made the model we made all these loose and it's hard to actually put them back in the same way, which is which is okay because it will all change and it will still kind of be what it is. So in terms of the points are the green, the blue, the edge, which is important and the heights which vary from you know around 10 meters to two and a half floors. And then a pedestrian access which goes through below the buildings actually and this is the key. The pedestrians are walking below the buildings to go from one place to the other. This point we'll come back to again later. But I think that's a crucial thing in the way we are trying to think of this right now. We can skip for you. So now we want to look at the master plan perspective 2025. And one of the things that we want to really try and do is identify the need for conservation of historic, ecologically sensitive and aesthetically important areas. And that takes us to to. Sure. So when you look at the Arkali, this slide basically shows what are the kind of when you overlay the maps, all the maps together, what happens in the Arkali sanctuary. I think that's the right word for sanctuary. So part of the Arkali actually is in the international zone. So obviously you'll have the crown of the international zone going till here till the park. Yeah. And then you have the American prevalence happening here. And then on the top, you have, of course, the industrial zone, which kind of comes and I'll use this now. And this is the vocational training band. And then the industry or the crown comes and kind of stops at the park here. So one of the things which we will also talk about when we talk about the section is we feel the crown should crown would do many things depending on where it is. Yeah. So when it goes through the park, I think the crown would basically almost float over the park. Let's say, yeah, it'll still be the crown, but it's a cloud crown, which floats over the park. Yeah. So we want to really look at how the crown holds the forest, which it has tremendous potential to do. So spatial density versus green density versus social density. What which of these are we looking at within that context? So the pedestrian access along the in the sensitive areas along the crown with minimal low impact. Like Glen Market comes here again with structures that touch the earth lightly. Canopy walks in bridges and culverts over the water catchment network can be integrated in the pedestrian access. Now special building guidelines need to be somehow prepared for the pavilions that are found in the international zone. So the pavilions of the Americas need to have certain guidelines which are sensitive to the context where they find themselves. Also the industrial zone line of force that comes, which I had made into a line of force of water needs to have guidelines which are line of force force of life need to have their own guidelines. We are also limiting the proposed building functions to ones like pre-care, Aburi culture, canopy experience, research, studies, seed banks and other green infrastructure. So the uses can also kind of work in tandem with where they find themselves and within the larger context of Auroville. I will tell you in a minute. Okay. Sorry. I will go back. So this is an important model where we can actually demonstrate or use this idea of the crown thinning in different places. And it can perhaps come through here where the dense crown here. Yeah, but I think it's, you know, kind of Peters out here. And then anyway in the park something else happens and then slowly it comes back again in the industrial zone. So I think using that insight from the galaxy, from looking at the galaxy, one way of adapting it perhaps could be this. And another idea which we were thinking is to let the crown actually from here rise up and go at a height among the trees at four meter, five meters, whatever. Let it be a bridge which goes through the forest. Yeah. So you have to imagine if you're living anywhere down here in the residential zone. Yeah. And you want to go to work at the industrial zone. You'll actually be walking along here and then going on this bridge through trees to go to work. Yeah. And we have to see this for that aspect. It is an asset which we all will use. Yeah. And so this is just one idea. I mean, you have like the New York High Line. No, that's I think about two kilometers or something. This is one fourth, one fifth of it. But I think what we have is much more than what those guys at New York have, you know, they love to look at buildings. We'll go through higher trees. Yeah. And we have to come up with a strategy of how the crown kind of becomes less dense and, you know, again becomes very dense over there is to have perhaps pavilions like this connected with walkways or skyways or treeways, whatever. Like just bridges. But basically when you look down, you have the whole sanctuary, but these could be whatever functions which come up over time. Yeah. And the line of force we've attempted. I mean, another idea for the line of force is actually like if you get a school, yeah, and the kids actually walk through from the bottom and go up some kind of a bridge. Yeah. All the way to the top through trees happening everywhere at different levels. So it's like you're actually experiencing a tree from the bottom to canopy and above canopy. So that it becomes an experience by itself. And I think what the line of force are where they are also for a reason, perhaps. I mean, you can read it like that. But the important thing for us to do that's the challenges. How do you find the right attitude and solution for that in that place? And that is the direction we are coming from. Yeah. So this is just one idea. I mean, there could be others, but this can be very cool and it can be like very thin steel structures. I mean, it's not to say there won't be any impact. Of course, there will be. Yeah. So we need to be prepared and we need to have. We need to make the step some step and of at least looking at it. And that is what this is. We are still looking at it. What is possible and dreaming so that perhaps from this something else can come. Okay. This we can skip. I mean, there's just a section which we did through just to understand already the different experiences from the international all the way coming to the park here. Mahakali Park. Yeah. And you see the lines of us going up. So the qualitative, we just tried to dabble a little bit, go into that a little bit. They're trying to understand how integrating the concept with the context offers a very unique opportunity to explore weaving different experiences of moving through the urban environment of the crown. So creating a sense of discovery, urban environments are places to find inspiration and energy. Designing for cognitive ease to really feel comfortable knowing where you're going and understanding your environment in a very clear way. Then Shindran Yoku. Shindran Yoku is the Japanese practice of taking in the forest through a census. So far as bathing through the urban sanctuary. Now, people are all over the world are trying to create this within the dense urban jungle, but we have the opportunity to do the opposite. So somehow really grab that moment and you know, try to get because there's evidence that suggests that natural environments can restore, rejuvenate and boost your attention. So in fact, like Ganesh mentioned that when you're walking to the industrial zone, for example, you almost go through a process of clearing your head before you get to the task that you're planning to do in the process. And an invitation for mindful movements who plan walkways and cycle paths, a built environment that is planned as a notch to pause a little bit and bringing in a sense of delight. Now in this section, we'll talk about our attempt at reading the road. You can say like what we had a bit of a technical thing where we lost our presentation. This is part two. Yeah, yeah. So what we did was basically we took the section which we got from TDC and tried to understand it and see what that gives us. Yeah, this is, so I mean, we can forget, I mean, this is what the section, the plan which goes with that section. So you see here, the crown actually, this is all pedestrian, this is covered pedestrian zone. So the idea is the people are walking through here. And now the crown, and this is important, is meant to be pedestrian and EV shuttles at 15 kilometers per hour. And that's how we should look at it. So I feel we should probably solve the problem for that first and then think about what do we do with the motorcycles right now. I think that's something for later. Yeah. So because once you think of both, I will crash basically. Yeah. So here what see you have the, you have a line of infrastructure here and a line of infrastructure here. Then you have the vehicles here and then you have the cycle here. So now our kind of take on this is, I said we don't touch the infrastructure because that's what's needed. That's what's needed. Yeah. And this, what's going here is basically EV shuttles at 15 kilometers per hour. Yeah. Maybe there are five, maybe there are 10. Yeah. Our crown is 4.3 kilometers. Yeah. So I think the cyclist can very well maneuver here. We don't need a separate cycling zone. It is one zone. Yeah. And in fact, I can walk there also, even though I'm walking under in the pedestrian covered zone. So that is the key. So what happens is when you think like that, you can actually do this and you'd come to about seven meters or even more. Yeah. And what we need to think about is, okay, at some point it needs to allow for an ambulance or a fire engine. Yeah. And I think it allows. And what we should do is we should avoid this thinking of a curb, you know, usually have like a curb here, curb here, and then road is slightly depressed. Don't do that. Make everything flat. So people can walk anywhere and they're just some very, very, very slow moving vehicle which is going through there. So what you get is a stretch of paved area, which is going through. Now from this, we'll come to the next slide. Okay. Thank you. Here we try to just see the different sections which happen through the crown. These are just random just to get an idea actually. It's an MP4. This one? It's like, yeah, it kind of moves. It's got a play button somewhere. It's an MP4. I think you'll show that to us. Yeah, you can talk about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But just this we had done for our first presentation and we keep improving. And for example, these could happen anywhere along the crown. You'll have the lines of force crossing. But then suddenly where it crosses the park, maybe it just elevated and it goes through over the parks. Yeah. Now, now to the next slide. This is towards the last slide. The last slide. Okay. Yeah. This is something which is still in progress. But this is very important also. And this comes from what Omar had touched upon in terms of. Shading. Yeah. You said something very nice in the morning. Whatever. Just repeat it. Okay. It's hard to read this, but Ganesh insisted. So it seems, for example, on 15th of March and I think that was May. One of this is May. May. These are the two areas on the crown which will really require shading and will not have self-shading with the buildings that will come up. So otherwise most of it, once it's completely built, would have a lot of self-shading involved. So where this is coming from is we need to do these studies throughout to actually come up. You know, when you see the crown and you have roofs going over or buildings going over. Where should they happen? They should happen where you need them. So it's like finding a reason from it for what needs to happen. So that's kind of the angle we are taking. This was the last slide. And this morning we did. Maybe you hold it up here. Yeah. There's two sketches. I mean, this is the plan through the crown. Yeah. So I'll put it like this. Okay. So let's say this is matraman that is on this side. Yeah. And this is what we just talked about. The paved crown or reduced crown street. Let's call it. Yeah. Thanks. What it does is basically this whole thing is a pedestrian walkway. Here you have the EV vehicle which is going. And then here you have the services here and here. These are the places where there are existing trees which we locate. And then we mark the space they need and create these kind of courtyard public spaces. For instance, some can be really large. One slide from Henrik from last time, which is very nice. Where he talked about different sizes of public spaces. And I think that can come in here very easily and you have some small, really tiny, medium, large, whatever. And then the water which comes in from there can be held. This can perhaps be roof water which is collected and importantly reused. I think that is the key word which we need to nowadays start using. And the black ones, the black represent maybe the columns. And yeah, this is one section of the crown. When you look through this, we are not so happy, I would say, right now. But just to see, I mean, this is a good exercise. We thought, I mean, it's good to make mistakes in the beginning. In paper, at least it's better to do mistakes. Finish the mistakes on paper. But it gives you an idea where you have a very little built space. But then the section here would be different. When you walk 10 steps, you'll get a different section. Something else will happen. Another 10 steps, something else will happen. So then it becomes really dynamic. I think I'm almost done. Yeah, you can read things into such sections. But yeah, that's the idea. That's where we are. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. So just taking a few quiet moments to jot down any feedback notes on your forms to help you remember for tomorrow. Yes, eventually we will take the forms. If you can make your reading, your writing legible, that would be great. But if that's not possible, that's also fine. But therefore, the main purpose over the next two days is to guide you. And then at the end of tomorrow, we'll just take them to try and summarize some notes for Vastashilpa. Okay, so are there any of the dream weaving architects who have some feedback, anything they would like to steal from the presentation? Thanks, that was really nice. Next inspiring. I like the way you, using primarily or not primarily, but using the green and the blue to sort of define the built form. So letting that guide you into finding this is so difficult to find a start. So this is a really nice interpretation of that. And the study into the different experiences of walking through the crown to actually give that thought and sort of envision it very tangibly. It's really nice. Is there anyone else? Anything anyone would like to steal or like to share? Okay, so we have our last... Thank you, Ganesh and Neha. I love the daring skill that you work at when you saw that section. I mean, it's really something which is very inspiring and we can look at working at those skills. Thank you. Okay, hiding in the back, sorry. Thank you, Ganesh and Neha for that very inspiring presentation. I like particularly the dharkali analysis that you had and I certainly would be inspired to even edit some of my thinking on that currently. So I need to quickly edit my slides. So yeah, thank you, thank you for your input. Okay, is there anyone else I can't see? Okay, good. So I think everyone's been really good paying attention and it's a lot of presentations this morning. So this is our sixth one, Marie. If anybody just quickly needs just a stretch before she starts, just take that opportunity. Hi everybody, my name is Marie. I'm a landscape architect so don't be surprised by what you will find. When you will see, I feel a bit in minority with all these architects but it's really the idea of dream weaving, weaving the project together. I know it's me, click. I changed this morning so I guess, yes. That was the first effort. You have a lot of things. Okay, so go back to the first. No, that's after, that's after. Yeah, you're doing like the other time, you show all the presentations. There is no suspense. No, there is, I mean great. Okay, we start by the beginning. Which is a section given by TDC. I decide to take only the crown road. What you saw from the other presentation is that you have the road and you have the building space which are hosting the pedestrian circulation. But because we are talking about a very soft, I think it's Ganesh who said that. We are going to a very soft circulation and we are thinking of electrical, slow, not, I mean safe circulation. I consider the crown road as a place where we want the life to happen, to merge, meeting to happen. So if you take the section of TDC, you see a road of 4.5 which will become 2 plus 2, so 6.7. I'm in meter because I'm French. And I'm 16 meter, I'm sorry. So it's good to have this measurement in mind because the width of a car, it's 2 meter. The width of a public transport bus, it's 2.5. So keep in mind the scale because that's really what I will question, the scale of the road. And then you have, of course, they said it, infrastructure, infrastructure, a cycle path linked with the green. And this is working to me because you have the two first part of the building at 16.7. This is abstract, this is theory. It's work because you have this feeling of framing by the building. And it's me with doing it. But because the road today is a road with fast vehicle, polluting vehicle, noisy vehicles, no one wants to be closer to this road. So the buildings, the public buildings, add the tendency to go much more further away from the road. Which results, for example, for the library, it's 22 meter away from the crown. Calpana, there's four more meters away. And that means the space in between is not hold anymore because of the quality of the road today. So you see there is, I mean, so in this space, which is left free, which is not organized because it was not supposed to be like that, you see a lot of parking, wild parking, vehicles. You see a lot of things which are not addressed. I prefer when it's your business. So from that, I will question the width of the road and the quality of the road. I'm going to call it the central, which is like for me a golden radiating center, which we can feel even at the crown level. Then I design, I draw several lanes, which can be the different lanes of circulation, cycle, bus, car, bike, anything that you can infrastructure that you can think of. And I will question this width, but it could be also much more abstract, like the different views that the crown needs to address. Social meeting, ecological function, collecting the water. So all these views, you know, it's the crown road can solve it, should address this. It's not only a road, it's a place where you have all these phenomena that need to be solved. So you see this Matrimondir, the four portal from the four gates of Matrimondir, my Lakshmi, my Kali, my Saraswati and my Shwari, which are also, by the way, the four park. They have all an impact on the crown. The 12 garden, which is more like that, which give also direction, give a sense of where we are, not to be bored, like Ganesh was saying in this crown, something happen each time. And the four parks, which are the one I mentioned last year. And that's exactly the design, I mean the green line are the lines from the master plan. And each time it intersects with the galaxy, with the crown. So you have the green line and you have the blue line. The blue line is the ecological sensitive zone. You see in Gaia, all the percolation areas that we need to save. In Darkali, it's also related matter, no, but water, but it's different type of water. In Darkali, it's catching the water before it goes to Kanyan and before it goes to the village. And the Rodham on that side, which is the Kanyan also. And you can see there is a kind of relation with the park. And that give a kind of perimeter on the crown to say, oh, something is happening here. There is another priority than the circular circulation. And that means every time it crosses these different things, I decide to reduce the size of the crown. I decide that in the park, when a crown road is crossing the park, it's a park who has a priority. Which means, yes, we can still have this experience of wandering around Matrimondier, around the city center, around the city. But it's something else which is happening. And I'm not the first one. I mean, I have to slow down and I have to acknowledge what is happening already there. So you can see that there is, in these two parks, I decide there will be only one lane. Let's call it lane. We don't know what it means. There is only one lane. So it's very narrowing the crown. While this, for example, here and here, something else a bit different will happen. Mainly here because sometimes if I reduce too much, that means I will have to have this traffic somewhere else. So I will not save more place for nature because I will have constantly different intersections. So I will combine everything on a shared space in this area. You will understand after if you don't understand. So that means now it starts to look like that. It's not anymore a ring with the same section. The section you saw on the first slide is a typical section for everything. And I really believe that we need to adjust this section to what is going around this four kilometer. Whatever is water, whatever is contour, whatever is building, but we need to change the section. So to create draw different section. So you see already that it's different of things happening. It's not totally abstract and just a dream. I took this road from Enric and also from Fabien study about mobility. That's why it was very useful to have this zoom out on mobility to understand that we are not just dreaming on something and we don't consider the rest. We have an idea which is for this part which are not pedestrian. We let the traffic going through. Okay, you are maybe not well oriented. So this is the visitor center. And this is Aloncoupam and Kotakarai. And this is the college road going through. So I imagine that, okay, maybe today we are talking about GDP. We are talking about five years. Today and for five years we will have to deal with that. We cannot solve. We cannot just stop the traffic. So we need to live with that but doesn't obstruct us to dream about something else which we have the power to walk on. And it's the other section. Here I don't consider this to have, this is a solar kitchen. I don't consider this stretch being traffic going through. But the traffic can come from here and filter maybe be just access. Let's see how we can solve that. So go back to the four parks. So in green you have the, well it's a bit complex but in green, this green you have the park like the master plan. And then in this green you have what you call the forest of Forreville as it has been planted and developed it. Let's remember that the trees which are here are not just coming by chance. It's because it's a new forest here. So it's because people have planted in this area. So I think it's very good also for our future planning that if we want to have a park here, here or here, we plant it. It's not, it will not happen just like that. It will happen if we wait for decades. But if we want to have the park because we want to have a city, we need to plant it now. And then you, I extend, when you see the section, the intersection between the crown and the park, it is very small. This one is about 60 meters, which is very, very small, to 200 meters maximum, the stretch of the park. So if you go through with a fast vehicle, you don't even see it. You don't even have your green corridor aspect that you want or your filtration. So I took the liberty to increase a little bit with the ecological sensitive zone. So Gaia for the percolation, Dark Ali and the canyon for, yeah, for water catchment and Orodam on this area. And then I'm a bit more comfortable with that section, that stretch, which are giving you a sense of green. Did I want to say something else? Yeah, I wanted just to say. If you look at the black and the green, the proportion is half-half, which can be a good way to say the city will be half-green. The crown will be half-green. That's why. Let's dream. For each park, I would imagine to have a different type of thematic. Again, not to be bored. I mean, it's not about to have one park which look exactly the same as the other. So for Malakshmi, it's more to be together, to have a shared space where you have your plateau, where all the vehicles, all the circulation, type of circulation can happen. And then the rest will leave it free for percolation to plant trees in order to help the percolation. Youth Centre, Bliss Forest, come back to the playfulness and the joyfulness that was a symbol of this area and build the crown or the space of the crown together. Massa Reservati Park, which is dark alley and a very large extension on both sides. Yeah, to decide that water and wildlife are the priority. So we are just going on the tiptoe on it and we'll show you different things. And the last one here is education. We have the international zone here and we have the visitor center and we have a lot of guest house here. So we can imagine that this is a perfect place to spray the knowledge of water, of not polluting water, collecting water, reuse of water. So let's go to all of the park, Malakshmi Park. So you can see on this little drawing here that the official lines are here, but I double it. But that means it's about 250 meters straight. I double it in order to really have a space which gives this feeling of park. Every vehicle is on the same plateau. We don't have a curb to limit the road. We really have a connection with nature on the both sides because it's quite large. We plant trees which are tall trees close to the road. And eventually, yes, because we have to wait for the tree to grow, we can create shade structure in this area. I start by thinking that there will be no building in this park stretch just to let you know. There will be so many buildings on the other section. So when I cross the park, I have minimum buildings. I can have shade structure. I can have pavilion. I can have something which, for example, is a shuttle, AV shuttle station, but not a regular facade. The facade is coming from the tree itself. So that's a section on the same park. So I put six metres of the road for the electrical AV shuttle that will cross all the area and that will be much more regular than today is not existing. So we have a very frequent public transport on this area, but we share with bicycle, motorbike. Sometimes along the road there is a place where something is happening, like what maybe you have experienced in other cities, a bit dense in the street where someone suddenly sings, someone will jungle, someone will do capoeira, whatever. It's just something is happening also in this space. And I keep two metres and one metres, so at the end it's nine metres. That's for the infrastructure, but it's not your infrastructure. It's for anything which is built or a little shade or something like that. It doesn't have to be a little shade. It can be very urban and modern shade. It doesn't have to be rustic. So I have a total of nine metres of road compared to the 16.70 width that we are talking, that the brief is giving us, but again it depends how you see the things. If you consider that the road should address percolation problem, green plantation, we can imagine that this is also the crown space. It's a bit tricky, but... No, it depends. I go to the top one, my Cali Park, on this little sketch you see. That's the stretch between here and here, it's 300 metres. I guess you know a lot that space, that there is a road here which connects to College Road, which means it's traffic that we cannot influence right now. We need to put a lot of work and effort toward a panchayat and place to discuss with the villager and with the bio-region in order to prevent that very massive traffic that we can have from here. So here we have only one stretch for only the EV Shuttle. And we have a series of different experiences along this road which is for anything, pedestrian, cycle, it's similar. So if you arrive here, if you arrive with your EV Shuttle, you can go on and you are directly there. If you are with your cycle, you can meander along this place. And it's very important that we don't have polluting or using fast circulation traffic in this area because there is a connection with the school which is here. It's the connection between the centre to the school. It's really a radiating, a connection between the diagonal. We can imagine that it goes with the stream that you see here. You don't see it anymore. So the contour is only one metre from here to here. It's a slope like that and that's why we start to have the beginning of the stream here. We can imagine that the circulation of pedestrian and cycle are going close to this place. The more you raise awareness, the more you protect it. And you have also water bodies along the crown itself to create other space here. The section. So it's really because I reduce to four metres the main road which is not a road, in that case it's a nally. There are several ones, two and two or one and one fifty along. The space is always different here. I don't need to have a lot of shade. I mean, I don't need to plant large trees here because I have this space here which will provide the shade that I need during the day because I reduce the horizontal open space and I section with other green areas. I don't need to create more shade. Dark alley or Massa Vasvati Park. So you come from here and you arrive in that area and you finish here. So again, this is a very sensitive place for water, for wildlife for a lot of things. So it's for afforestation. So the idea is the heavy traffic will go. That's also a bypass that Enrique and Fabien propose near the Calais temple and going there. And that means you have more chance to address the pressure from the village. And in this area, you have simply a catwalk going from this point to this point. So yes, my experience around the crown is always this circle. I know that I have matrimony on that side. I know I'm in this circular pedestrian path but I don't need to go with my big width off-road. So all the infrastructure goes here and then a bit further we have the road on that side. And we can repeat this curve. We can repeat with the different areas that we need to build in order to catch the water. And it can become totally a place just to enjoy, to see, to go. It's a goal. Section again. So you can recognize that the existing pond, that's the perfect circle from the 690 from the banyan tree. I mean, it's pedestrian. It can be cycle if you want. But I think it's more easy to go there. And again, I have four meters because I really want to have my shuttle going there. And I can repeat this circular water body. Then the last one was a bit more difficult, 60 meters on this stretch. And I realized that Aurodham is quite far from the crown. So it's, I'm not sure I want to invite whatever, whoever will come to the crown to the Aurodham canyon. Yet I think this place has, you know, so it's much further the canyon and the dam of Aurodham. And we have a lot of housing and buildings already here. So I would imagine the crown more to be something which is enclosed and stay. It's more a filtration for the noise or for the, you see here there is a car of a student of kids who go that way. So maybe it's good to filter on both sides. And we can use, we can use a lot of plantation. And here you see a double alley of trees in the center. So the center become four meter of shade path from another. I think you saw it in some reference picture of someone, of Sonali this morning. So you have the shade from the tree in the center. That's a living place. That's where you meet people. And then you have the circulation on both sides, which can be reduced. And then you have your buildings on that side. So here you have 14 meter with them. I mean, quite a lot of. So each time I put the infrastructure under the road because I imagine that we have always a second road to, if we need access and if we need to repair, we will have always this part to use if we really have to have access to it. Coming back to the existing stretch between PTDC to Arca. So that's what we have today. And what I would imagine it's really to reclaim the paved area. So we have about seven meter of, the road is not seven meter, but there is an extra place where we can't plant trees so I cannot provide shade. So the idea was to create another layer closer to the street because it's not a road anymore. If we go for pedestrian and public transport. And this will be more at the scale of pedestrian cycle. So you imagine you have your bakery delivery here, you have ice cream on that side and you wait for your shuttle. This is what I try to draw here. So you recognize the solar kitchen here and porthos in this area. Library, Kailash, Kalpana. And you have the existing road from certitude. Again I'm talking about the next five years. So what will be fantastic is that in 10 years it will not be even there the existing road from certitude but within five years the priority is really to shift from a normal road to a pedestrian public transport road. That will help us to reclaim the paved area and to live here. So it's not just by decision. It's quite a lot of work that we have to put into that. We can imagine to create a lot of shade structure on the street but also to create a space for the bus, for the workers to go to the village and to have a special rate and to have a special nod of transport. I imagine to close this part to cars, even the Eurovision car. But again we can imagine a bypass on the back. We can imagine a fast tag system for those who are there. But that means also we have this place here where we have our car, the Eurovision car. You can park here. So if you want to go to Pondichenei, Bangalore, whatever if you need your car, you still have the car here. This is more for the day parking in this area. And here of course you have all your charging, power charging, power station for your e-bike. And that creates already a sense of urban fabric. Do I have to say something? No, I don't know. You see the markets here. You see a very large public space that is created after the event of this last month to work together and to create something together. You see of course a lot of water. It's not water water. It's just again the idea of collecting, reusing, recycle. So more it's decentralized. It's a bit like what we saw with the solar panel, to work with a cluster instead of trying to do everything on the ground, but to have a cluster of buildings which work together for electrical, for water, for recycling, even for waste, because we can imagine that the road, if we don't change into a different type of road, will create a lot of waste, a lot of pollution. And that's it. Thank you very much, Marie. So we've got a few minutes of silence just for everybody to take down their notes, their feedback on their forms. Okay. So, okay. I can see some of the dream we've been architects to have some feedback or some steals I want to share. Thank you, Marie. It's always such a visual treat to see your presentations. For me, the steels are those details, further details that you put in through the park. Yeah, because I also feel that those are kind of those points when one is going all along the crown. So that's my steel point, and I love your sketches. Thank you. Yeah, for me also know to see, it's the third time that I see you work now and to see the development of it and the sensitivity that you bring into that part of the crown. I think it makes a lot of sense when I look at the sketch in Dakali, I think it's perfectly feasible. One has to see with infrastructure now. So, yeah, thank you. Really nice. Every time when I see your presentation, I realize that it's so good to have you in this team. You really are an asset. And the way you have treated the marriage of parks and the crown, I think it really sets the bar how to treat the crown in the park. And again, like your hand-drawn sketches give so much life. Like most of us architects resort to plants, elevations, sections, and all that. And your hand-drawn sketches bring that quality. So really, I mean, I enjoyed your presentation. Thank you, Mari. We didn't have enough time during our presentation, but from your last time, the steel, you mentioned about having sections every 20 meters. So we did that right now. Of course it didn't come through because it's still work in progress. But yeah, I would really like to thank because a lot of theory that we were trying to understand through the plan information, we could actually start imbibing it when we started doing this process of the section. So thanks a lot for that. And from today's presentation, I really appreciated the approach of looking at five-year transition, moving towards an ideal mobility. So yeah, thanks. Yeah, thank you, Mari. Excellent to see the development of your ideas. And what I really also appreciate is that you have a very clear vision how to change towards a pedestrian city and with public transport on the ground. And how you face to support, to change our old habits into that. And I think it's doable and it's beautiful. And thank you so much. Any more dream weaving architects? Anything to steal? Okay, just checking I'm not missing anybody right at the back or anything. Okay, great. So now I'm going to hand over to Mona. And hopefully if the technology is working, we can get some feedback from Doshi and Vastisjopa Foundation. Okay, so we've been in touch with Rajiv and it seems a whole team of people are there. I can see Uthpal and Jaydeep. And of course, Doshi, they have been partially, hopefully, been part of this. Okay, so Rajiv, would you like to just give some comments? It would be lovely before we break for lunch. Can you hear? Yes. Yeah, you're frozen, Rajiv. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay, great. First of all, fantastic. I mean, I loved all the presentations. I love the fact that, I mean, there's so many people with such enthusiasm and such energy who've been participating and coming up with wonderful ideas. So, thank you for joining us today. So, thank you to all of you. If there's a lot of thought, I notice that you've been using the word Steve, don't agree with that word. I say the bottle we share. So, thank you for sharing. Not that they're steering your ideas. I think it's thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas. And we will see how we sort of take these further so that they can be realized eventually. I think what we've been talking about is three parts which I could sort of make out. And I'm going to be sort of generalizing right now rather than getting into any specifics. The first is that we are, you know, we are, you know, between the celestial and the circumstantial. So, we're trying to figure out how we can match these to their celestial order, which is sort of the constraints for that are much, much longer. The circumstantial is more immediate. And how do we sort of combine these together so that we can synthesize or synchronize these two aspects of this plan. The second one is, I think, very importantly that all of you have raised is about natural systems and man-made systems. And I think natural systems obviously take precedence because they need to they're sort of based on what the land is, what the topography is, what flows of water are the way that they do the man-made systems can generally adapt. Human beings are very adaptable and I think we can generally adapt to situations. The third thing that I'd like to bring about to sort of highlight is the centralized and decentralized situations that you've all talked about and at what scales do centralized systems work and at what scales, decentralized systems work and in what aspect. So, I think these are the three main sort of binaries which I thought have been highlighted by all the presentations. So, I'm very, very sort of enthused by the way that you've identified these and you've come up with the starting of ideas. I think these ideas need to be developed further. I think some of them are great ideas but as you sort of move towards making them into reality the number of layers and conflicts that arise and how you sort of settle from that and make choices would be important aspects. So, I really do look forward to this taking place in the next session and I hope to be there personally for the next session so that we can, you know, discuss at length, face to face rather than through this medium which I can see there's a time lag and I don't know if you're getting clearly what I'm trying to say out there. So, thank you very much. It was quite clear, Rajiv, we could understand most of it, and so we have we break for lunch now and we have five more presentations after lunch at two, Rajiv. So, whoever is there, I mean, if Uttapal and Jaidipa are joining us and whenever Doshi ji can, it would be great and we look forward to have your comments again in the evening if possible. Thank you so much for being online. Okay.
