Paani Lari
Paani Lari
- Systemic changes
This is a response to the primary necessity of drinkable water within the community of New Faisalnagar (Eastern Ahmedabad, India) and aimed to function as light infrastructure. Our strategy has been to collaborate with a local NGO (Centre for Development) in order to concede ownership to a group of citizens in the community whom are willing to drive this device and cater to approximately 40 families per day. Additionally –and given that this is also a community space- we foresee different elements that encourage exchange and dialogue, not only by a generous cover and a deployable staircase to sit on, but also a series of panels where different sets of information can be displayed (especially in relation to the use, treatment and health implications of water). Therefore, the lari not only caters to a very pragmatic need of water consumption, but in a parallel manner offers the possibility of implementing different forms of urban pedagogy.
