I spent my fourth year working on a research project started in a class for my historic preservation concentration and continuing with my studio class second semester. My class of 8 students, working under our professor, spent a week in Mumbai, India in January thoroughly documenting various historic districts of the city. We worked in pairs photographing and assessing each building's architectural character, typology, material, condition and socio-economic class. We spent second semester working on processing our research and creating a study of various typologies. We have created a recommendation for future development in the historic districts of the city and compiled a publication of our findings. Our research will be used by the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment. Read Less
