proposal 3 and 4

Proposal 3:

Thesis Statement:

Space’, loss of ownership, breaking the walls of isolation and getting back to its original essence.

Abstract:

Dramatically changes happen in society from last decades where spaces are losing their ownership and essence. People prefer to get individual space rather than communal spaces.

Space of my courtyard used to have an evening tea for my whole family, and there surrounding space is used by children for playing, so children were playing in the supervision of parents, and it is guided play space, since individualism born we are getting isolation from family and creating boundaries between generations. Yet another example where old_mans used corners of streets for gathering and providing sense of security to that street is now part of insecurity. Example of playground where youngsters are active to achieve physical activity is becoming a part of digital world. Parks were used as breathing space between dwellings but now it’s becoming a part of isolation from society also Spaces are being threatened by loss of ownership. 

Example of spaces where all society bring together in any social event is neglected now, spaces like ( bethak / Autaq / kachehri ) also were used for resolving issues of society, people is now preferring to sit in home rather than going  and attend or people are preferring to get back and says ‘apna kia hay ye to us ka problem hay’. Spaces are being losing there ownership.

As an architecture student My idea is to explore and investigate the way I can help creating sense of ownership towards public spaces; that were used as communal or interactive spaces ‘
