Spaces change their role with time and are always seen in continuity. However, the User-Space interaction keeps on generating newer meanings for that space. With built forms, landscapes as well respond to these processes of change. Often Landscape as an entity, is considered secondary; however inaccurately that may be, landscape has a vital role in defining the context of a built form with its surroundings. This also leads to the question of why ‘Landscapes’ and ‘built forms’ are always seen as entirely separate things? Whereas, the memory and associations that a user shares with a place are collectively because of the meanings generated by Landscapes and built forms together with the activities that happen in that place. This project would aim at exploring the idea of ‘language of a landscape’ derived from ‘Language of the built’ and vice versa. It is intended to generate a language that is synergic with the overpowering architectural character of the site.
