First Post.
Indeed. Marking the time of transition, grauduating in a day, packing hectically, moving forward, visiting Turkey, farewells and short encounters. good memories, and much more to come in India, hopefully.
Engin, Veronica; Hope you are taking lots of photos, lots of drawings... everything starts with documentation. Be sure to see Randolph Langenbach's site - he is foremost researcher/promoter of seismic-resistant vernacular construction. http://www.traditional-is-modern.net/KASHMIR.html
Everything is about dialogue - exchanging knowledge. See what locals know about the strengths of their traditional architecture. Hands-on activities with kids to sensitize them to what makes a building able to sustain lateral forces etc.

Hey Engin, I look forward to reading about your travels and adventure (and work, of course) in India.
