POLICE BHAVAN for KSRP

Bangalores lakes are being killed . But nature being resilient , given the slightest chance it bounces back, and some of Bangalore lakes are wonderful examples of this. Urban wetlands are priceless treasures . Urban wetland management unfortunately is not much of a concept in most of India. Usually, the city decides to build a big garden around lakes, which means manicured lawns, paved paths, lots of flowers & trees that dont usually grow in wet lands, and a complete destruction of the wetland around lakes. This usually ends up slowly killing the lake. The Urgency of the matter focused upon is so strong & forceful that attempts are being made to save the ITBT city’s remaining wetland resources ; at least, as relics, of ecologically managed biodiversity as public utility resources and as the last of the lung spaces to enable the Bangalore Metropolies to avoid a suffocating death. Our project proposal is focussed on healing the wetland of the site (which probably is part of the Madivala lake ?) and proposing an Architecture which is Majestic to be fitting the 100 glorious Years of KSRP. At the same time the building sits very softly on the site, using all the five elements of Nature—Air , Earth ,Water, Fire(Sun), and space .
