Why it matters
It highlights the role of urban design and community-led initiatives in preserving local heritage and social cohesion in rapidly changing cities.
Namma Theru: Our Design, a three-day neighbourhood street initiative by Pelathope Urban Living Lab (PULL) in partnership with PLUS and BeFantastic will be held from August 7 at Pelathope in Mylapore.
According to a press release, Pelathope will transform into a living neighbourhood laboratory with interactive exhibitions, heritage experiences, creative workshops, public art, storytelling and traditional games.
This initiative builds on the conversations that began during the Pelathope Open House, evolving over the past year into collaborative research on Pelathope’s ecology, mobility, culture and everyday life. One can register for these free events that include Community Dot Exchange, a collaborative workshop that invites participants to create evolving kolams together by building upon one another’s designs; another on learning from kolam practitioners; a panel discussion on Reimagining Pelathope; and listen to stories of water and Pelathope.
