The new city of Palava, near Mumbai, plans to build a center for the arts and culture. The new building and park area, situated on opposite sides of a road, are set up upon plots of land of equal dimension. The entirety of the first plot is developed into a square-shaped pool, upon whose vast stretch of water the Renzo Piano designed cultural centre will stand. The park is created on the second plot, an abandoned quarry. These past excavations provide the elements of a naturalistic composition, which is bringing further into relief by its juxtaposition with the geometry of the architectural framework. The width and dimensions of the terraces and quays along this topographical side will vary continuously, following upon one another alongside the uneven edges. This high plateau area is planted with an afforestation whose irregularity conceals the planting framework underlying it. Despite the small-scale size of the plot, through foregrounding the play that takes place between geometry and topography, a perceptible increase in the number of spaces encountered results. In terms of structure, the miniaturized geography becomes more easily recognizable, joined in proportion to the architecture of the cultural center.
