Restructuring heritage places for better quality of life

Doshiwada ni pol is situated towards Tankshal road. It was a settlement to Jain community. Outmigration due to various issues led to commercial ingress in the pol. The proposal aims in improving the quality of life of the residents to avoid further commercialization, through conservative surgery approach. The Studio began with a 2 week exercise to critically read and analyse the World Heritage (WH) Site of the Historic City of Ahmedabad which formed the base for individual work. This exercise was done in groups of 2-3 students. Click on the button below (view additional work) to view the group's work.
