A ‘developing’ community story with plots and subplots in Chennai

Designing assemblage spaces falls into 2 escaped taxonomies. The archetypal 1 involves a abstraction wherever thing exists to thwart efforts to plan it. Head successful determination and knuckle down to the enactment of turning it into a abstraction for all, and not a fairyfly would buzz successful protest. No amended illustration than OSR onshore up for improvement of parks. There is simply a wide argumentation down it, and everyone progressive follows the missive of the law. 

In the different taxonomy are fuzzy roadside spaces to which everyone stakes a claim: the vendors, conveyance parking slot seekers, and bittersweet but true, reckless litterbugs. This is simply a coarse-grained category, 1 militating against modular enactment plans. Expect curveballs. Expect regression to a erstwhile authorities of chaos, aft immoderate advancement successful designing it has been made. On the upside, expect to spot improbable heroes look during the process of reclaiming the space. Belonging to this class with undefined borderlines is simply a abstraction on East Mada Street successful Thiruvanmiyur, 1 sandwiched betwixt the Marudeeswarar temple vessel and the road. In mid-November of 2025, residents rallied down Project Thiruvanmiyur Mada Street, spearheaded by 2 architects, Dhanya Rajagopal and Pavithra Sriram and Design Co Lab, to reclaim this abstraction from unauthorised parking and wide squalor for art, culture, music, hyperlocal history, community, speechmaking and for a plain hangout culture.
