  • CHAPTER 2 the District of Dharwad Has Played a Pre-Eminent Role In
    38 Dharwad District CHAPTER 2 HISTORY he district of Dharwad has played a pre-eminent role in the history of Karnataka. It was the T core region of the major dynasties that ruled in Karnataka such as the Badami Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Kalyana Chalukyas and the Adilshahis of Bijapur. To establish their hegemony in the fertile region of Belvola-300, there have been pitched battles between the Seunas and the Hoysalas. Whenever Marathas invaded the South, they made use of the district as the highway. As the hinterland growing cotton, Hubli (Rayara Hubli or Old Hubli) was a major industrial centre. When the British in their early years of trade had founded a factory at Kadwad on the banks of the Kali, the supply of textile to the factory was through old Hubli. There was a land route from Hubli to Kadra, the higher point of the Kali (till which the river was navigable) and it was through this route that merchandise from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur was transported. Products of thousands of textile looms from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur could reach the port through Hubli. In the south, Haveri and Byadgi had communication with the Kumta port. Chilly cultivation introduced into India by the Portuguese was raised here and after the British took over, transportation of cotton and chillies was made through Kumta from Byadgi and Haveri. Haveri was the main centre of cardamom processing and for final transport to Kumta. Byadgi chilly earned the name Kumta chilly due to its export from Kumta port. In England Kumta cotton was a recognised variety though it came from the Dharwad region.

  • Practice in Delhi, Seeks to Bridge These Diverse Interests
    Preface The choices that we make today for the development of our landscape has a lasting impression on the future relation of man with the environment. In the Indian context this is more than evident, as is seen in the interconnections of nature, culture and man that have prevailed over the centuries. The designs created in India will have a much broader influence than just within its borders. In rapidly developing countries worldwide there is a need to protect and highlight the dwindling cultural and natural resources. Successful methodology, design development, and long-term management can inspire and guide other countries to steer the direction of landscape architecture towards a sustainable, inclusive, and thoughtful fate. By creating holistic designs which respond to the character of their locale, we have been able to produce robust schemes which address the contemporary site conditions, pressures and usage, while responding to the rich historical and cultural context of the place. The following projects are a short illustration of the range of ideas and continuous exploratory methods that help us formulate a unique design perspective to provide solutions that have led to our outstanding reputation in the built sector. This document will give an overview of each of the selected projects through background information, key plans and figures, concise analysis, and main conclusions.
