Machhlighar
CONCEPT
Call it a mockery at humankind or anything. Isn't it strange that we humans are providing abode to animal like fish which do not actually need one.
Fishes are like free animals. They do have a defined territory but don't have a house or nest as such. But for our personal interests (amusement in this case and probably to some extent our desire to explore the world) we have provided a "Ghar" to fishes.Hence the name "Machhlighar". I am sorry if I am not glorifying the human spirit..the spirit to explore, the desire to be supreme, but what I am stating through my architecture is a real truth, a mockery at humankind.

ZONING CONCEPT
This analysis describes the propensity of a person accessing any point on the site as a function of its distance from the access roads. This analysis assumes that there exist no barriers of any kind on the site.
The other drawing describes the locations of facilities as per our accesibility gradient analysis and the degree of access required for the respective facilities.

ELEVATIONS
You can have a look at the anterior and dorsal side of the fish.

PLAN

SECTION
The aerial view was taken for Calcutta city at 6:30 a.m. in the morning of 21st June 2005. The daylight analysis was done on 3dStudio Max.

SOME VIEWS
Here are some views. You can see the fish bleeding (Red color of the floor symbolises blood) Its like a cold fish brutally murdered and left dead on the shore.
