Unfolding the continuum - The Rodh river

Rodh river is one of the undetected and unexplored system in south west of Ahmedabad, upstream with scattered lakes connected to each other through streams to forms the main spine of the river in downstream and outfalls in the Gulf of Khambat. The system lost its ideal conditions and significance in the course of time. Project aims rethinking the edges by constructing a network will enhance the  function of the system and also connect people to the crafted spaces along the river corridor to create memories and to interpret the importance of the system.
