Dehradun
The design proposal envisaged the creation of a unique Urban Park which would celebrate the fascinating tale of The Great Arc within the natural matrix of the Survey of India Site in Dehradun. The story of the Great Arc was to be brought to life by the symbolic representation of the Great Trigonometrical Survey in the design of the Park. The north-south linear configuration of the Garden of The Great Arc was to be reminder of the journey undertaken by the intrepid surveyors from the southern tip of the Indian Peninsula to the Northern reaches of the subcontinent at the base of the Himalayas. The triangulated pathways were designed to connect at the apex of the triangles in specialized small gardens. These were also to become locations for specially commisioned sculptures depicting the story of The Great Arc.
