Private Property: Public Property. The Complicated Nature of Architectural Heritage in India. This studio will study the complicated relationship between architectural heritage assets and the Government of India. In doing this it will aim to understand the manner in which these assets are appropriated ‘for public benefit’ and subsequently transformed. The studio will take the particular case of Jaigadh Fort and document the institutional processes that were employed by both the government of India and those responsible for the Royal Properties to understand the varied attitudes and approaches to architectural heritage that have been at play in post independent India.
