Classic Indian texts and Vaastupurusha Mandala, which predate commonly taught European writings, are often overlooked in the Western discourse on urbanism. This book seeks to rectify this by shedding light on these forgotten concepts, making them accessible to architecture, landscape, and urban planning students worldwide. Through case studies of select Hindu temple towns in India, the author explores the relevance of these ideas in contemporary times. Moreover, the author emphasizes the formal abstraction of the classic Indian Mandala and transposes the discourse from sociology to socio-ecologically adept trans-disciplinary design thinking. The creative interpretations presented in this book offer a foundation for revising classic models to influence urbanism and ecology in response to changing climate conditions.
