This is an experimental zine dedicated to an Indian city with over 2,500 years of history. It functions as a sequential journey from past to present and future—from historical architecture and cultural heritage to the daily lives of its citizens, contemporary education, and museum spaces.
The book is divided into three thematic sections, united by the theme of the interaction between the past, present, and future.
History engages with the city’s architectural heritage and explores preserved historical forms.
People shifts focus to daily life, urban spaces, and individual human stories.
The Next Chapter is dedicated to contemporary cultural and educational initiatives: the PRERANA school and the Anant Anadi Vadnagar Archaeological Museum.
The foundation of the graphic language lies in simplified silhouettes of historical architecture and the recurring motif of the circle.These silhouettes transform architectural objects into independent graphic symbols, preserving their recognizability while forming the visual identity of the publication.The circle functions as a conventional symbol of the continuity of time. Repeated across different pages, it establishes a compositional rhythm and links the three thematic sections together.
