There was no specific requirement for settlement study documentation, but sites were identified with local context study, in Maheshwar and Indore.As part of the study, two quick studies were carried out in the town of Maheswar: individual observation of local architecture and measurements of elements along the Narmada ghaat. We also visited two centers that train and engage craftspersons in the traditional hand-weaving technique unique to this region. Based on discussions we opted to develop a program that would cater to needs of the weaver community as well as provide a public interface for them to showcase their craft. Subsequently,a site was identified to locate the proposed project for Short Exploration.
