Mangar Bani Walk & Ideas Competition

Savita Punde to organise a guided tour of the Mangarbani sacred forest on the Gurgaon-Faridabad road. This walk will be on December 18th, Sunday.

A brief can then be proposed for an IDEAS Design competition for the forest. A selection of the ideas will be chosen by the panel. The Collegium will try to invite key people from the Ministry of Environment and HUDA to be on the panel. The top chosen entries will be compiled and published by the Collegium.

The brief will be simple and the main idea will be how to design around the forest without touching it at all. Since HUDA has recently changed the land-use around the forest to develop it, it is this development that will be the focus of the brief. If the competition charges an entry fee, that can be used for prizes, or sponsorship is also an option.
