This work uses design as advocacy for adaptive, just landscapes which center place-specific knowledge as radical change unfolds. He has been visiting design critic in Landscape Architecture at Harvard University and environmental design strategist at UNOPS Nepal (United Nations Office for Project Services).

CONTRIBUTIONS TO FIELD

My practice examines chronic disaster-making and climate crisis in the landscapes of Nepal's mountains and plains. Ongoing work with Nepali colleagues focus on the ongoing retreat of a small Himalayan village. This includes supporting the collective, community-driven design of retreat as an alternative to the imposed violence of managed relocation programs.
