Creating a ’smart’ urban landscape at Shaniwarwada

This thesis explores the use of collective memory in the practice of landscape
architecture, specifically the use of 'memory mapping' as an imaging technique.
The specific site chosen is Shaniwarwada, a fortified royal complex dating from
the eighteenth century, in the city of Pune, India. In order to gain an insider's
perspective of the site, written questionnaires were distributed and interviews
were given. The findings of these inquiries coupled with an understanding of
contemporary theories concerning memory mapping guided the development of
programs and physical interventions. It is hoped that these undertakings will
enhance the role of Shaniwarwada as an historical site and a community place in
the future.
