Networks: Adaptability The large-scale intervention in the site is to create a flexible circulation network. This project weaves strategies to build on the bike networks of the SUMA project within the village. Some segments of roads are converted to NMT-friendly, one way to reduce congestion and streamline movement through guiding junction design. Apart from cars, autos, buses and bikes, occasional special vehicles, like the chariot during procession are also considered in designing the surface. The project also considers networked infrastructure like open drain infrastructure along the road leading to Rajakaluve is integrated with a bioswale that filters the storm water before entering the lake.

Spaces: Adjacencies + Adaptability The Village square is designed to be a gathering space as much as a traffic junction. Part of the square is made at a single surface that allows for easy seamless movement of cultural vehicles like the chariot. The space around the inscription stone is converted to a civic space that seats the customers of the local canteens in that area. Lastly, the bridge at the Lake entrance is designed as a space of transition rather than pause. It enables easy movement of pedestrians and bikers from the village side to the lake side ( pause there)

Elements: Hybrid Operations Given the key institutions that line this commercial spine, this project reimagines the compound walls as habitable zones, extending the role of institutions in creating public spaces. The edge of the PHC has an info kiosk, a vending platform as well as spaces for spill over of the Hanuman Temple. Given the lack of park spaces in the neighbourhood, the compound wall of the Kalyana Mantapam is used to create children's play gyms that could be used during the events as well as otherwise.
