Project Info:
Chikpat is a food outlet sitting in a heart of Islamabad. It reinvents south asian cuisine with assembly line module. In this particular project, we came across a client who was deeply connected to the roots of heartland. Initial conversations with him were mostly about old city culture of Karachi and Lahore and how he is passionate about bringing the food of street to masses and classes of Islamabad. While talking to him, we stumble upon this idea of recreating reminiscence. 15’ wide and 65’ deep site has a similar proportion to as of an old city street. Space is a nostalgic re-imagination of Post-colonial urban thoroughfares. Research became the pre requisite for design. Team did an in – depth research of old city in terms of surfaces, art and form.
Layer 1- Form: Forms of old city façades were selected and drafted as a streetscape. Segments of streets were extracted from different old city streets.
Layer 2 – Surface:Earthy tones and metal surfaces were composed in contrast to induce a similar feel. The pertinent surfaces of the forms were necessary to evoke the sensory nostalgia.
Layer 3-Art: Finally space was wrapped in art to mark it urban. Indigenous graffiti style was studied in depth to cover the surfaces holistically. It elevates the visual Texture and depth of surface.
