The map
Tambaram lies on the southwestern edge of Chennai, where the city meets the older towns and villages along the Grand Southern Trunk Road. From above, it is organised around two long lines running roughly north to south: the suburban railway, with one of the region's major junctions, and GST Road, the main highway to the south. Dense neighbourhoods spread out on both sides.
A large part of the area is taken up by open land. Air Force Station Tambaram occupies a wide area with its runway and grounds. Madras Christian College has a very large campus with a protected scrub forest, a rare area of greenery in the suburbs. Several lakes and water tanks lie around the edges, some partially surrounded by new housing.
A Tambaram map poster shows how these large open areas break up the dense street network. Straight transport lines, the airfield, the college woodland and the irregular shapes of the lakes combine into an unusual composition. The region has grown quickly, and the map records the layers of old village streets, planned layouts and newer apartment blocks.

Madras Christian College's wooded campus is a large green area among the dense streets, one of the most recognisable shapes in the frame.
Irregular water bodies lie around the edges of the suburb, softening the dense grid and showing the older landscape beneath it.
