The design project reinterprets the Ksiri Sagara, a story of
religious Hindu Cosmology and abstracts its embedded ontological process
as a strategy of both formal design and functional solution in
rejuvenating the ecological condition of the holy pilgrimage lake of
Pushkar, India.
Through the conceptual abstraction of the Hindu cosmological story, the Ksiri Sagara, the project embodies an ontological design methodology as a process to define, solve and synthesise both its formal and functional requirements. Set at the sacred Hindu lake of Pushkar, India, the lake is a place of yearly pilgrimage for Hindus, and home to one of the world largest yearly camel fairs. The design outcome is an open-loop rejuvenating system of the lake, which due to the heavy environmental bearing of local activity, is under constant degradation.
