Mattancherry(old Kochi) is an old port town. Lots of communities from all over the world started settling here with a ma-jor intention of trade since 14th century. Agricultural produces from the vast hinterland flowed to its markets to be sold or exchanged for textiles, metals and other products of the European countries. Migrant communities such as Jews, Konkanis and Kutchi Muslims(Kutchi Memons), though lesser in number, have also lived in Mattancherry for generations. These communities enhance the cosmopolitan ambience of Mattancherry.

Today it lost it’s identity as the major trade centre of the region. Communities started moving out from the region because of the lac of opportunities, Mattancherry, still have a mix of diverse cultural settlement. Each community have good intensity of interactions between them. But the communities shows a tendency to isolate themselves from other communities. The shift of the major economic activity, which was the prime factor of inter-community interaction, considerably reduced the chances of interactions.

Identification of Palace road as a major area of intervention, which is related to all the com-munities foe their day to day activities.

Maintaining and Enhancing the Diverse Social Characteristics of Mattancherry Settlement.

Integrated district devolopment plan made by the authorities, neglects deep physical and cultural connection of the fishermen settlement to the seafront. have with the place they live in. The final proposals as product of participatory bottom-up approach is still failing in creating livability.

The intention of this demostration to give an oppertunity for authorities to understand issues in the existing devolopment plan and how it can be modified in terms of proposals which actually gives the oppertunities for the people to improve their life styles and economic status.Selected demostration area was sea front of Kollam, which has the highest density of the people and most of the inhabitants are fishermen.

Authorities intent to gradually move the fishermen from the area to create a better clean face to the sea front, by creating a highway along the sea edge.

ISSUES :

Retaining and reorganising fishing harbour in coexistence with the settlement and open spaces, yet maintaining cleanliness and creating an active, vibrant enviornment.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

The design strategy focuses on the segregation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and the creation of a linear atrium, which binds all the functions. The building has 3 levels of basement parking with 6 levels of retail and enter-tainment functions above.

The mall is set back from M.G.Road to form a large pedestrian plaza on the main road creating a vibrant public realm. The front facade is a vibrant dynamic composition in aluminium and glass to announce the building while the other facades are extremely sustained. Significant effort has been made to incorporate signages onto the building facades.
