Beyond Built

The choices that we make today for the development of our landscape has a lasting impression on the future relation of man with the environment. In the Indian context this is more than evident, as is seen in the interconnections of nature, culture and man that have prevailed over the centuries. The designs created in India will have a much broader influence than just within its borders. In rapidly developing countries worldwide there is a need to protect and highlight the dwindling cultural and natural resources. Successful methodology, design development, and long-term management can inspire and guide other countries to steer the direction of landscape architecture towards a sustainable, inclusive, and thoughtful fate. By creating holistic designs which respond to the character of their locale we have been able to produce robust schemes which address the contemporary site conditions, pressures and usage, while responding to the rich historical and cultural context of the place. The following projects are a short illustration of the range of ideas and continuous exploratory methods that help us formulate a unique design perspective to provide solutions that have led to our outstanding reputation in the built sector. This document will give an overview of each of the selected projects through background information, key plans and figures, concise analysis, and main conclusions.
