Journeying to a place of special significance brings the communities together. The land becomes the protagonist in the narrations of the sacred journey.
The area chosen was Sakharayapatna, a small town
near Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka, India. The thesis explores design in a temporal setting created by festivals, fairs and temporary markets. The multiplicity and modular nature of the project allows for an organic growth in the future. The aim is to pay homage to what is already existing, sacred and permanent and create a dialogue between the past and the present.
