Project "Wall-EXPOSED!"

"The Major thought behind this project will be to investigate, how spatial morphologies, like landscapes, borders and scales, are re-ordered and re-imagined to materialize "development". It has unfolded in a dying industrial city, now being re-envisioned through neoliberal urban entrepreneurialism into a ‘global city’. The city wall has been annihilated through the various kinds of ravages that has happened throughout the decades. Through a combination of various factors with the 'urban renewal', landscapes were changed, new spaces produced, borders re-imagined, and new ones imprinted on the landscape, to segregate the communities. The administrative set-up creatively juxtaposed to alter the spatial morphologies of Ahmedabad.

This is not a study to investigate what could be the factors behind any annihilation, but to deliberate on what exists, and what belongs."
