03 Swapnasrushti

Swapnasrushti is a one stop recreational cum amusement park, located on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. The site area consists of water amusement rides, nature park, flora and fauna along with vernacular and modern abode experiences. The site is a contoured site, where vivid experiences are installed, studying the ridge and valley situations provided by natural topography. The architecture is such that it blends with nature. Different dwelling experiences through architectural manifestations are created expressing the vernacular Kutchhi Bhunga house, tent houses, truck houses, in the lap of mother nature. The experience is further enhanced with old traditional urban and rural elements, such as crossroad (chowk), Pigeon tower (chabutra), wells, courtyards (aangans) planted with tulsi (basil plant), echoing the ethos of religious and socio-culture of India. The conception of such village environment in urban settlement is further enhanced with local arts and crafts and use of wood as a material, making it ethnic. Arts such as Kutchhi tribal art in Bhunga houses, local mirror art in tent houses, Warli art and terracota blocks are some of expressions.
