The aim of the studio is to identify potential public spaces in gurgaon and use them to their maximum potential. Now people claim that with so much construction going around, with expanding population DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC SPACES LEFT??
For those of us who inhabbit gurgaon also are met with the same dilemma. Where is the public space??
The places are right infront of us all we need to do is open our eyes.
In today’s fast paced life we overlook the obvious. We are so engrossed in our own little world that we forget to see the broader picture. For eg. The other day walking towards one of the malls looking for a place to chill out with my friends I saw this wide patch of grass and wondered “why are we not using this space”
Is it because nobody uses it hence it has become a no man’s land?
Or is it that I see this beautifully manicured lawn and feel disheartened if I trample the grass or spoil its scenic beauty.
Or I was sacred that the security guard will come and shove me away.
Well the third reason is more of cowardice on my part. Infact I should have gone there and see what the reaction of the people around the area and most importantly that of the security guard is.
Through this studio we are conducting a series of experiments to gauge the reaction of people and see how they react to public space and when they see other people using it and hope for a positive response.
