GOLD is a covated precious metal on earth.It has its own celebrated significance throughout the history.Especially in Indian context gold has its own prime importance.The site is located within the gold mine landscape ,entire thesis narrative is drawn from the obtaining of gold.Hence this thesis attempts to rethinking of ornamentation in architecture and different experiencial quality of the spaces above and below the ground along with the experience in different landscapes.
The identity of Kolar Gold Field (K.G.F) has often been associated for its production of gold.There is a deep story that follows is about the birth ,the triumph,the decline and the hopeful revival of the chequered past.K.G.F today is a ghost town shrouded in a tattered and rather frayed gown of nostalgia.There is a constant comparison between the “good old days” and inevitable comparions with the today.In the 130 years of commercial production of gold at KGF,approx. 1,000tones of gold have been produced.Enormous quantities of gold bearing rock is brought out to the surface ,pulverised,treated with chemicals included cyanide are piled hign into manmade mountains referred as cyanide dump
This thesis explores the explores the experiencial quality and atmosphere in architecture.The context builds on idea of lybrinth and cave which has been archityple ideas in architecture.The projects locates itself in the delapidated mines in KGF.It developes the idea of man made landscape,gold as an covated precious metal[it has its own history].This project hopes in the future to further explores the ecological impact,rethinking of ornamentation in architecture.Through in the course of journey from entrance to exit point,the story of mining is understood by transformation through light,taste and olfactory
