Many times, we take for granted what we see around us and fail to appreciate its value until it is too late. With specific reference to our past and the reminders of it, i.e., our heritage, it has been seen that negligence and insensitivity have led to the erosion of many of its valuable components. A simple form of awareness for this purpose is explored in this project. Introducing heritage components in their built form to a person by taking him for a walk.

The project needed an understanding of the components involved before presenting them to the target audience. The city of Pune presented some problems in terms of its heritage buildings being scattered and not confined to one area. The issues involved identifying the building amidst its new surroundings and retaining the interest of the target audience during the walk. Information had to be presented in such a manner so as to locate the building easily, making the experience of the walk an engaging one. The project provided an opportunity to interact with the INTACH Pune chapter and understand how they had dealt with the same problem.
