Ahmedabad's urban growth severed the lake-and-drainage intelligence that once regulated monsoon, soil and life. Our practice rebuilds that metabolism by reading the ground—remote sensing, hydrological models, and archival mapping—to recover ghost catchments and forgotten flows; then composing precise, systemic interventions: water-sensitive TP schemes, linked talavs and wetlands, decentralized STPs, and strategic aquifer recharge.
Soil is re-animated with biochar and biology; native plant communities re-root the city's ecology. The work oscillates between planetary view and hand-scale labour, between model and mud. For the 7th Lisbon Architecture Triennale's "Lighter" exhibition, held at the MAC Museum- we will present our work as a series of strategic interventions—a form of "urban acupuncture". This exhibition about moving toward lower mass, more photosynthesis, and new urban systems—this film offers a grammar for making cities lighter by design.
