Thesis Title:
Curating an Experience for Adventure Cyclists in Kirthar National Park
Project Title:
Kirthar National Park
Location:
Kirthar National Park
User Group:
Adventure Cyclists
The project is an Architectural prototype that enables adventure cyclists to explore the Kirthar national park as a site of Ecology. The park offers spaces of respite and sightseeing locations for cyclists seeking refuge from the urban life. The prototype therefore categorizes the program for cyclists in the form of a cyclist lounge, a modular rest stop and the adventure interventions defined by the site. In its entirety, the project not only empowers adventure cyclists but highlights endurance cycling as a sustainable, tactile, challenging and a self-aware way of traveling and exploring the various landscapes.
