Though developed as an important trading port, the trade in the port of Kochi, Kerala, has almost come to nil with time. The project is a proposal to benefit the growing urban scenario of the island. 

​

POTENTIAL
After an extensive analysis of the precinct, the precinct is noted to have potential for development of community/tourism related activities. Though populated by underdeveloped waterfront, dilapidated buildings and non-functional godowns, it has the potential to become an essential transit for pedestrians as well as the transport facilities like the buses and the boat jetty. 

​

RESPONSE
The vision was to maximize the meeting interface between communities while preserving the cultural uniqueness and acknowledging their differences. The proposal was to introduce a cultural center as a primary function to address cultural diversity and expanding commerce as the secondary function.
