DRAMATIZING SYSTEMS 
 A forest is an ever changing system, which has multiple complex layers that work together. Each of these layers are smaller systems themselves and can be further divided into many more. This forms an intricate web or a network, which works in a unique manner. The absence of even one element would make the forest behave in a very different manner. This interdependence and coexisting of smaller systems to form a larger system, which has an effect greater then each of the smaller systems, is defined as synergy. There are multiple such systems, one of which is the seasonal change occurring in the forest. The viewer’s perception of the forest changes completely with each visit. This makes it a complex system by itself, which comprises of smaller systems. The site is a degraded land near the forest and the aim of the project is to create an intervention developed in terms of small systems which would be interconnected. These systems would be a recreation of the existing systems in the forest.
 1. Observing and classifying the behavior of site in relation to the forest with respect to various scales and replicating and recreating systems in accordance to it. This will be in adherence to the respective conditions required for the survival of each species like soil, altitude, terrain.
 2. Exaggerating the behavioral pattern of these systems on site so as to lay emphasis on their character. 
 3. Associating trees that have a varying seasonal behavior, based on the plant associations in the forest. 
 4. Observing, understanding and replicating the significance of the coexistence of the forest in a lush green and parched dry state as a system in itself, by studying the cycle of a deciduous tree through the year.
