Description
Hi,
I am currently studying at an institute for design and art in Switzerland. In addition, I coordinate a community garden in the city of Basel, Switzerland. In the medium term, I envision transforming a nearly forgotten place into something vibrant through activism—this is why I am searching for ideas, plans, spaces for communication and connection, language, and sound.

For many years, I worked in the field of landscape architecture. Change, I believe, begins within oneself, and for this reason, I stepped away from large-scale planning processes that happen solely on the computer. I deeply believe in the power of places and view landscapes as living organisms.

During my travels in India, I hope to visit various projects, work with the earth, and connect with people, plants, and other living beings, learning their languages and ways of being. I am most at ease when surrounded by plants and animals. My journey leads me out of the house, through the garden, and into the forest

Niranjan's project is located in a very special part of Bhãrata (India). Probably almost as special is Niranjan's relationship, or rather love, for culture. For me it was an unforgettable and inspiring opportunity to learn and grow together. Sometimes we were almost rooted to the ground by the energy of the forest, other times the gifts in the… read more

I had the opportunity to learn a lot… read more
