Through intermediate landscapes - Central spine GIFTcity

Addressing natural landscapes is very vital today's context, considering the fragile nature of natural systems around us and the erratic climatic conditions that we encounter. Floods, cyclones, droughts, forest fires etc., have become a regular threat to human life and the environment. It is often the intermediate natures between two natural systems that are neglected and are reduced to just walls and curbs which have led for such emergencies to occur. A river edge can never be defined by concrete wall or a forest edge by a fence. These intermediate natures are equally important as the natural system itself.
