Architect, academician and an avid researcher. My continued research has been on the concept of 'architectural anthropology'. My interests lie in the role of the 'human element' in the cultural milieu looking through the lens of Architecture.

The cultural landscape is an ever changing phenomenon due to evolution and developments of the city. The functions change and accordingly the spaces adapt. The recording of a historic city in this regard is an important step towards capturing the civilizational changes and developments.
The culture of a place has a very strong influence on the architectural developments. It can be interpreted as ‘trained and refined’ state of understanding manners and taste prevalent at a time or place. The idea of culture itself talks of evolution and change. The study of this characteristic is an important tool towards recording the history. Indian cities have a rich cultural heritage and yet a comprehensive study of our city centres and their influence locally as well as globally still needs a lot of in-depth analysis and understanding.
The paper will examine this understanding of the cultural heritage of Jodhpur as recorded and understood by the students and its importance in the overall study.
