Serious Weekday fun - Heritage Site


The revitalization of this building and the re-planning of the greater site is what I will be working on while I'm with MPUSP.



The site is CRAZY.

Main street entering the site

One of the gates at the site entrance.

Courtyard currently used as parking lot.

Central courtyard of Bhopal Municipal Commission building across the street.

Perimeter colonnade.

The low building on the left is actually the city library entrance
adjacent the building site. Completely hidden!

There is a car mechanic operating under one of the arched entrances onto the site from the Lake.

The site steppes down towards the Lake

View of Lake from the roof

The building is currently abandoned except of a portion which is used as offices on the ground floor. Someone has actually built his home in the covered space of a side entrance.

We had to skip over his bed to get in.
