Challenges

  • The extensive scope of the project (7 different zones with different environmental contexts) presented a significant challenge, as it required a comprehensive strategy that could effectively address the diverse range of contexts encompassed within each zone.
  • Moreover, a detailed field survey was conducted to identify and assess any remaining agricultural sites requiring further investigation. A crucial aspect of the project involved examining the rainwater collection system and water management practices, which provided invaluable insights into the     intertwining relationships between culture and environmental adaptation.
