Fault in the Rocks

Situated 52km south of Udaipur lies Jaisamand Wildlife Sanctuary within a 1.8 billion year old line of peaks, the Aravallis. They were formed due to folding and faulting of cratons over a geological timescale. A dynamic landscape overall, a relationship between rocky outcrops identified within the forest structure and vegetation helps derive a fine threshold of a new age. The focus of this project is to create a dramatic experience and bring awareness as one engages with this sanctuary.

Re-imagining the site

Hypothetical intervention of the rock bed on site infers two natures of thresholds. Boundary of rock typology and a fine line of contact between the rocks. Supporting site conditions help derive a character to each pause point.
