Call of the fittest

First impression one carries forward about a forest is usually the dense character of it. Though forest dynamics are composed of multiple processes, most of them can perceive only the superficial and temporal characters in the first glance. Comprehension of forest dynamics that impact the vegetation type of the forest in a certain manner is crucial. Change is the only constant to explore the sieves in the vegetation pattern,by looking at the temporality of changing elements of the forest. Once the underlying study of the forest is made, few species will standout that can survive in most extreme conditions and they become critical for the study of threshold to the forest. The project aims at comprehension of the dominant species which can survive and help naturally regenerate the forest, which enhances the experience. The project will approach at creating thresholds though the spaces created by these specific species which are obtained after sieving, which will help understand the underlying story at the point.
