Short Introduction to the Area of Study
The site is located in the North of India, at the foothills of Himalayas. It’s a small village (25 families and 150 inhabitants) which is sandwiched between a reserve forest and a growing city (Dehradun).
I chose this area for this seminar as it is my thesis site. Currently because of eccentric developments of cities, villages, especially those which are on the fringes are facing lots of challenges and development pressures. My effort would be in providing direction to the transformation (with community participation) which should result in a sustainable, self sufficient and economically viable model. So far I have conducted three public meetings in which I organized workshops to help the villagers appreciate the landscape around them. A particular meeting focussed on landscape needs analysis allowed me to develop a fresh perspective on the topic.
Exercise 1: Sketching the Landscape
Time frame: October 25 - November 15, 2011
Student activities:
- Creation of analytical drawings and sketches
- Presentation of results
Please upload a selection of your drawings/sketches/mental maps and add them to the image gallery
Sketches and Drawings
(Black and White Sketch of Village approach road)
(Highlighting human intervention in landscape (void))
(Highlighting landscape (mass))
(Sketch reflecting the effect of urbanization in village due to its proximity to city. Its showing the transformation in construction.)
(This sketch is depicting the usage of a particular space in village by different usergroup during the entire day )
Exercise 2: Landscape Layers
Time frame: November 15 - 29, 2011
- time based changes and 'landscape biography', and/or:
- topography, open spaces, built, green, traffic and water structures on different layers. *Definition of zones with coherent character
- Description of this character.
This map represent 3 dimensional human intervention in this landscape.
This map reflects the immediate perception of current usage. specifically how the area is currently use in spite of its ownership and defined landuse.
This map shows the immediate surrounding of site under study.
This map shows the network of different types of commuting roads and paths (both formal and informal ones)
Shows the highest, lowest and slope are of site and surroundins

Exercise 3: Behaviour Patterns
Time frame: December 6 - 20, 2011
- How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?
- Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns.
- Preparation of short presentation
