# 2508 :: stone-lintel


mumbai, maharashtra, india. july 2006
krvia : 2nd yr : history of architecture : mumbai's rock-cut architecture

though it's not understood by looking at the photo alone, i checked the adjoining files; and figured that this has to be a stone lintel at the mandapeshwar caves in borivali. the caves were our site for the class study on the rock-cut architecture of the city. the study had been compiled into a book, and is available in the krvia library.

to make the numbers more interesting, it'd be great if you could mention why you chose that particular number. it could be a special date, a lucky number, a patterned-number or just any random digits that came to your mind.

# 13431 :: colonising the trees


hercules, california, usa. june 2008
holiday : family

this one was from a BART train while returning back to san francisco, from hercules, across the bay. the towns / mini-cities en route, sprawl all over the hilly country side, seemingly colonising all the forests. the tree cover is still present, though its heavily eaten into; and strangely that makes it look worse. (all the little white spots seen in the background are single family homes)

# 7268 :: in-between


mumbai, maharashtra, india. july 2007
krvia : 4th yr : sem vii : ad site : girgaon

the first project of the fourth year dealt with introducing amenities in the inner cities areas of mumbai. girgaon was one of the sites, and was the one that had the least of the infrastructure, congestion & dilapidation issues. instead it offered a rich social fabric, existing community networks and a comparatively better-off populace; along with a crematorium - cemetery - garden belt that ran along an entire edge, for nearly a kilometer - along which all the ten projects of this precinct were eventually proposed.
