Theoretical readings through the studio inform ecological feminist perspectives, that revolve around natureculture continuum, dismantling dichotomies and human non-human interdependencies.  In the context of Kaiserbagh, and the lens of memory and ecology through which the site is understood, these theories are seen in relation to the same, which then become a base to the mapping as well as all three design interventions done through the studio. These interventions  collectively create spaces to meet, eat, read, work, rest, sleep, for humans and more than human communities of birds, bees, other species, vegetation - in a way bringing back a kind of ecological and historical multivalence to site, reminiscent of Wajid Ali Shah’s Kaiserbagh.
