Jaaga is a community space created to serve the arts, technology and social change communities in Bangalore. It includes web enabled co-work spaces, a cafe and a large multi-level public space for screenings, workshops, lectures and performances. Additionally there are several private spaces that select teams can use to develop their projects. Go to our Call to Participate page to be part of this movement.
The Jaaga structure is unique, modular, low cost and incorporates eco-friendly elements. The design and build process, spear-headed by Freeman Murray and Archana Prasad has been, and continues to be, an open and collaborative effort.
Pallet Racks form the core element of the architecture. Their heavy load-bearing capacity, availability, low cost, and extreme flexibility lend themselves to efforts to build high density temporary buildings in urban environments. With it we hope to demonstrate a variety of techniques for living sustainably and having fun in eco-friendly, low-cost DIY structures.
The land Jaaga currently sits on has been generously made available by Naresh Narasimhan.
