DOMBIVLI IS CONSIDERED AS

THE CULTURAL VICE-CAPITAL OF

MAHARASHTRA AFTER PUNE. THE

CITY HAS PRODUCED F INE

LITERATURE, CLASSICAL MUSIC,

PLAYS, POETRY, AND ACTORS.

NOW THE LAND HERE HAS GOT A

TREMENDOUS DEMAND BECAUSE

DOMBIVLI HAS STILL RETAINED ITS

CULTURAL NATURE. THE CITY HAS

GOT A VERY GOOD STANDARD

OF EDUCATION AND ALSO HAS

THE HONOR OF BECOMING THE

FIRST FULLY LITERATE TOWN IN

THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

AND & SECOND IN THE

COUNTRY.

THE CITY LACKS A PLATFORM, AN INTERACTION SPACE TO EXPLORE THE CULTURAL AND

SOCIAL LIFE OF DOMBIVLI-KARS ON A DAILY AND EVENT-TIME BASIS. THIS IS VERY MUCH

CLEAR FROM THE FACT THAT WHEN AN EVEN TS ARE ORGANIZED THE RESPONSE IS

OVERWHELMING. ALSO THIS CAN BE SEENDURINGTHE TIMEOF FESTIVALS.

DOMBIVLI LACKS AN URBAN CHARACTER & EFFICIENT SPACE PLANNING THAT ALLOWS

PEOPLE TO COME TOGETHER. WITH THE PRESENT ORGANIC GROWTH, IT IS LOSING ITS

GROUND BECAUSE THE EXISTING PLACES ARE NOT ENOUGH TO FULFILL THE NEEDS OF

THE COMMUNITY.

“I COMPLETE THE BODY (THE ARCHITECTURAL FORM) AFTER I LEARN

WHAT THAT BODY CAN DO, WHAT

ABILITY OF THE BODY TO SPEAK IS. THIS

IS A KIND OF PHENOMENOLOGICALINVESTIGATION. I NEED TO ASSIGN

SPEECH TO EACH PART OF A

PERTICULAR BUILDING SO THAT IT WILL

BE ABLE TO SPEAK IN MY TERMS, TO

SPEAK IN A MORE SPECIFIC WAY.”
