VRIKSHA STUDIO
Vriksha is rooted in the concept of a wood-wide web that networks and supports solutions-driven ecological initiatives as one cohesive system. One person/discipline cannot make sense of complex situations. We integrate Art, Research, Landscape – Architecture, Urban planning, science, and technology as a mosaic of environmental action to build informed urban design solutions. We work closely with architects, filmmakers, journalists, anthropologists, urbanists, technologists, naturalists, archivists, scientists, environmental designers, farmers, green-thinking politicians who are motivated by ethics, learning, and action.
We are in the process of setting up a studio space to critically and creatively and collaboratively engage with real-world problems and promote a learning culture in an interdisciplinary environment.In addition to piloting green park projects, the studio will host hosts workshops and discourses on relevant topics.

Co-Design
Co - Design In my desire to intermix arts with social science, I turn towards the participatory methodologies to build empathy and capacity. One person/discipline cannot make sense of complex situations, so it is vital to connect skills and resources for knowledge...
Conceptual Planning
What role should professional designers play in local placemaking processes? The process should never start with a designer’s drawings proposing changes to space. That is typically a consultation, which is usually a one-off event presented as the design’s...

Meeting with City Officials

We pushed the institutional and political boundaries to overcome the status quo.
All of the interventions were done to avoid the repetition of past mistakes and reduce the environmental damages and possibly reverse the decline. We are still in the process of taking the principles and our visions forward. It is a long-term goal – a work in progress.
