THEATRICALITY IN PURE STANDS

This Project is an insight to the rich biodiversity that exists in the higher altitudes of the Western Himalayas through the lens of the Gregarious Kharsu Oak forest that acts as the climax species at the top most altitudes of the tree line. Initiating from visualising the external theatrical characters through sketch and sectional understanding further the forests geomorphology has been studied to understand the location and natural systems surrounding that shapes its existence. Zooming into the Pure Oak stands the transitions in thresholds, hovering biodiversity and the regeneration of this system of forest is studied and depicted through diagrams.
