In this project I worked in a group of twelve understanding the complexities of a life project. Brief: Studying Sarkhej Roza, a UNESCO recognized heritage site situated in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, identifying problem areas of the site and uplifting the spaces in immediate relation with it. Client: Friends of Sarkhej Roza (NGO) This project dealt with intense research and ethnographic study of the space through various means of information. Classification and communication of acquired information and then developing the interventions.

The journey, from Sarkhej Roza being any other monument, to the understanding of the space in all its contexts and recognizing it as spiritual culmination of religion society and culture was intensive and fruitful.

While hunting down the information, I had my first lessons dealing with the bureaucratic system the country runs on. Understanding the sources of information and then formulation my own opinion for the progress in the project was a true test for my cognitive skills.
