Khotachiwadi Imaginaries, a workshop conducted by the organisation, URBZ, and young German architects Niklas Fanelsa, Marius Helten and Leonard Wertgen started a new design conversation at the heritage space last week. "Since the participants weren't experts on the locality, including us, we made them pick a spot and observe the happenings. This allowed them to keenly observe both, the physical space and the lives that involve around it," explains Helten while sharing results of the workshop that will be on display across Khotachiwadi till this weekend. He cites the example of a bench near a local temple that is used by residents for a nap, for evening meetings and by a fish vendor.
