A thoughtful and compelling adaptive reuse proposal. The way the project connects heritage conservation with children's play and learning, commerce, and community life is particularly strong. It offers a convincing reinterpretation of the historic caravanserai as a living part of the contemporary neighborhood

Playducation

The built environment shapes everything about us – from our mental states to our physical well being – everything is connected to places we live in, even more so those which nurture us. The idea of play promoted in this module is that of “playducation” – to learn with play, more than just merely through it.

This led to the loss of the area for social gatherings and the harmony between the flora and fauna. So the project works as a breathing space for community gathering, specially women and kids.
