GSAPP SUMMER 2023 WORKSHOP
AVERY HALL, NEW YORK
11/07/2023- 11/30/2023
WORDS FROM GSAPP
“The students’ work produced at the end of the summer workshop, 'Peri-Urban Water Management in Gujarat, ' will be reinstalled, starting November 7, at Avery’s 200 Level. It includes scrolls, videos, and collages outlining narratives and rituals related to water, exploring the significance of the ponds in villages surrounding the rapidly expanding city of Ahmedabad. This material was first presented last August with the title “We Stand in a Crisis with Water” on the third floor of Le Corbusier’s Ahmedabad Textile Mills Association (ATMA). The vast space was approached as a verandah between the historical city and peri-urban areas, focusing on the brise-soleil’s threshold that faces the once monsoon-flooded Sabarmati river, now bounded in concrete as an artificial pond.”
