LIMINAL WATERS - People. Pisces. Plants

Goverdhan Sagar Lake is projected to experience a decline in fish populations due to habitat degradation and overfishing. This project envisions a hybrid approach where fish are positioned as primary stakeholders. Through bioengineered habitat interventions, rewilded lake edges, and immersive educational spaces, the design restores ecological balance while offering meaningful human experiences of the wetland. It fosters a sustainable coexistence—placing plants, pisces, and people in harmony within the lake’s liminal landscape.
