Time and space are the two variables around which architecture is built. Buildings evolve over a period of time because the perception of spaces changes. A building needs to constantly respond with the its surrounding contexts and find a way to inhabit itself all round the year.

Such a strategy will ensure its survival and sustainability over a period of time. A primary requirement for this, is a flexible program or in other words a variable use of space which will lead to a constancy of use, over a period of time. This is especially true in the case of public buildings. Public spaces designed for time bound activities tend to fall in disuse after the completion of events. The most commonly examples are those of stadiums and public parks with specific timings. Consequently, anti social elements and activities abound such dead areas. Another point in the case of public buildings is the issue of maintenance. A public space which enjoys high occupancy will automatically generate its owns funds and find novel techniques to overcome inactivity.

In the contemporary context it is essential to design spaces which last over a period of time. Flexibility of programs, giving rise to multiple activities are the key to sustainable design. This was the start point for the selection of the program.

ARCHITECTS BRIEF

Mumbai is a region of great

ethnic diversity; this results in a

m u l t i t u d e o f d i f f e r e n t

communities, each with their own

unique cultural traits coming

t o g e t h e r . T h e p u r s u i t o f

excellence in passions creates

professionals. Unfortunately, the

spaces available for these

communities to pursue and

showcase their hobbies and

passions, which arise out of their

cultures, are extremely limited.

On the off chance that some

facilities or spaces do exist, they

are seldom well maintained, and

are unused or misused for the rest

of the time. Furthermore, due to

various reasons like lack of space,

high land values, etc, the facilities

that are provided are very

expensive for the vast majority

who have passion, but cannot

afford such spaces.

The site lies at the southern tip of

National Highway 8, at Bandra

Recalamation. It is an easily

accessible site, with connectivity

to Worli via the newly constructed

sea link, to Mahim via the Mahim

Causeway, to Bandra via S.V.

Road and Bandra Linking Road,

and to East and North Mumbai

via the Western Express Highway.

The project requirements call for a

recreational centre, which will

allow people from all the above

areas access to facilities and

spaces which will help them

nurture their talents on a leisurely

or professional level. Flexibility of

spaces and programme will

ensure maximum and optimum

usage of the faci l i ty. The

architecture should promote a

sense of conf luence and

c o n g r e g a t i o n , w h i c h w i l l

promote the programme.

BANDRA FREEMIUM CENTER



The site is at the confluence of varying infrastructural developments and acts as a binder between the city and the suburbs. The idea of connectivity and visibility from afar and in between the programmes was examined. Zoning was done in such way where the central staircase acted as an adhesive to the spaces around and as a viewing g a l l e r y t o t h e s u r r o u n d i n g . Categorizing the programme from public to private led to the transition of transparent to opaque experiences within the spaces of the recreation centre.
