Re-thinking the historic layers through 'placemaking'

The project intends to improve the historical layers that the public is unaware of. The design proposal addresses issues applying architect Jan Gehl's placemaking approach and focuses on highlighting the historic fabric while also enhancing quality of life and offering improved public amenities.
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.
