Virasat - Framing the Nizami culture

Hyderabad is a city with a heritage as old as 400 years. During which many dynasties have ruled the city like the Nizams. The city is famous for its food and historic monuments that attract tourists from all around, but at the same time serve as recreational spots for locals. Through the years the value of these structures is dying and many are in sheer neglect now. Hence a chosen abandoned site will help evoke a sense of memory of the place and regain Nizami identity through the language of the landscape.
