By deforming a standard rectangular tube, we balanced the necessary structural stability and accessibility requirements while creating a spatial experience that invites pedestrians to pause instead of simply rushing through the city. Our work in urban intervention starts by rejecting the notion that infrastructure is separate from the city fabric. We see cities as living, breathing entities, and any new intervention must acknowledge the existing layers of history, climate, and community usage. ### The Thinking Hand Process Before a single line is drawn, we engage in deep contextual study. This involves analyzing wind paths, sun angles, and the organic movement patterns of the neighborhood. The bridge design shown here is a direct result of this process. We utilized performative parameters to dictate form, ensuring that the structure serves its primary purpose of movement while also establishing a distinct visual identity within the urban landscape. ### Integrating Function and Form We specialize in master planning and urban renewal where the challenge is often balancing high-density requirements with the need for public open space. Whether we are designing township master plans or smaller public interventions like footbridges and plazas, our focus remains on human-scale design. We look for ways to weave private and public realms together, ensuring that our projects contribute to the community rather than standing as isolated objects. Our practice in Pune and Belagavi is rooted in this belief that good architecture creates better interactions between people and the built environment. ## About Thirdspace We are Praveen and Namrata. Since 2002, we have been sketching ideas in Pune and Belagavi, always seeking the organic patterns that make a neighborhood thrive and designing interventions that respect that context.
