Course Outline- Through this course we have developed a deep understanding of mangrove ecosystems, including their ecological significance, role in biodiversity conservation, and contribution to climate change mitigation. Through this module we have learnt to integrate environmental flows and ecosystem services into architectural designs to create sustainable and environmentally conscious spaces and analyze the social and economic importance of mangroves to local communities, gaining insights into the challenges and opportunities for involving communities in conservation efforts. This module  also gives a hands-on experience through field visits to mangrove ecosystems.

Flows- HUMAN MOBILITY

Programme- In this module our intent was to increase the mobility of the humans in the mangrove  .We observed that the density of people was greater near the Dmart which is near the metro station and then it decreases as we go towards the Zen garden ,however the mobility sticked towards the right hand side of the field. Hence our intent was to intervene in the mangrove without encroaching into it ,so we decided to play with different levels so that the mobility increases and the people can experience the mangrove at different levels. In our site we observed that there were children and adults used to climb up the wall when the park used to be closed so we decided to create a space which would incorporate and element of hiding and a labyrinth.
