TRANSMISSIONS AND SITUATIONS The sites involved in transmission model: Sabarmati Ashram Dandi Bridge and Crematorium Perimeter of walled city: mechanics, public square Delhi Gate Clothing Market

These Measured Intensitiy sites stood out by the condition of their extent in the urban fabric. They are not just objects or combinations of objects, but agencies in relation to each other. Something with almost ecstatic effect weaving into the urban context of the city. All of them also present systems of curious complexity to us. We spoke to folk who dwelled there, we surveyed them verbally, optically and conceptually, photographed, flimed, and drew. Through making them present, we aimed to establish the relationships between things that constitute the places. Each place has its own territories boundaries. The territories are in relation to each other through the narrative of The Salt March. The narrative gives them orientation and angle. Each exit from each territories, the Ashram, Dandi Bridge, Crematorium, Workshop, Public Square, Delhi Gate, Clothing Market is narratively connected to the entrance of the consecutive territories. That puts the

places in series. Carrying this in mind, we came back to Edinburgh and tried to elaborate the two ways to represent the seriality of how one site progresses to the next one. 1. Through fragmentation, which is the inevitable fate of places in a narrative. By modelling the fragmentated elements that spoke to us in each consecutive territory, it provides a way of exploring the seriality of the places. 2. Joints at the gaps. They are how one place extends into another. While there are gaps in between territory fragments, between exits and entrances of places, there might be joining pieces of the transition. Just like chapters in a book, our territories show spatial separations. But the chapters can be bound together by narrative, which in relation to our architectural gaps can be bounded together by the physical connections derived from our haunted architectural language.
