Rewinding the resilience

Emphasizing indicator species to revive the riparian edge The project looks at disturbances experienced by riparian edge of river Sabarmati over the years. Its aims to ecologically revive the disturbed site into an active public space through the lens of butterflies. Design is based on three principles as retain, transform and replace.

The map shows butterfly diversity in the riparian zone after intervention. Indicator species of the good riverine system is used as a tool to revive riparian vegetation. Revival of the dumping ground to the highly biodiverse riparian corridor will become the symbol of transformation.

A common ground Bird biodiversity reserve

The project’s intent is to bring land-dependent and water-dependent communities together by providing a common ground. The transect which includes different landscape settings and community association to that region was main criteria for site selection. Site lies in village commons area.

Understanding village landscape typology Scrub land

Understanding larger context Deccan Plateau

In the central lands of the Deccan plateau, lies an undulating land dotted with deciduous and scrub forests of the semi-arid region of the Bhima river basin. Along the banks of the Bhima river and the recently built Ujani reservoir (1987) is located the village of Kumbhargaon.

The extremities of the landscape - dry and wet were observed in the surrounding landscape of the village. This observation was explored further as a key aspect to study the landscape. Looked at these two aspects from the larger context. Sugarcane field after harvest

Experiencing avifaunal diversity Dry Evergreen Forest, Western Ghats (Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Tiger Reserve) This dry evergreen forest is a mosaic of dichotomous systems. That hosts a spectrum of sub types ranging from the sparse to dense evergreen, moist to dry and open to closed forest owing to its spread over the windward and leeward side of the ridges of western ghats. These systems display a diverse understorey.

Studio : One forest Semester 1 | Masters in landscape architecture | CEPT University

Dry Evergreen Forest Albizia amara-Chloroxylon-Anogeissus Latifolia series Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Tiger Reserve In proportion to the diversity of these lowerstorey of the forest are its relationship to the Avifauna. When one moves within the forest, we experience these two aspects simultaneously. One of the varying understorey from shola grasslands to scrub forest and the distinct bird calls that change along with these understorey. The evergreen forest provides habitat for most of the Avifauna species. What is a better place to pause than the banks of these streams as Shola transforms to evergreen forest. It is a converging point of various components of the forest. This is a place where two of the most diverse system of the forest co-exists – Evergreen forest and Shola grasslands. If you follow the bird in this area you will see the forest and its distinctiveness.

This park caters to a large number of people for spending their mornings and evenings for different activities. It has a jogging track and huge lawn areas for relaxing, yoga, and other passive leisure. This park also has dense vegetation cover and talav. The dried talav area provides highly biodiverse flora and fauna. It provides an immediate connection to nature. It has different kinds of interaction areas with shaded and open seatings. The outer edges of the park host small-scale vendors, street hawkers, and an Amul store. The entry of the park is not evident from Sindhu Bhavan road. This park has balanced spaces in terms of open and enclosed which allows a different kind of user group to it. Now it becomes a part of citizen’s daily routine.

This place looks interesting, comfortable, pleasant and peaceful.

Change in the rate of onions is a global issue; stable demand & inadequate storage is the main reason for rate fluctuation.

Garden Of Wealth

Land (soil), Water and Vegetation are the most precious wealth we have. The proposed design for the Garden of Wealth has this natural wealth as the focus. It is a reminder for visitors to pause and look at the beauty that mother earth offers each day; wealth that money cannot buy.
