From May 2011 to December 2013, I lived, trained, and worked with Didi Contractor in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh. Didi was instrumental in shaping my ideas about environmental design and for molding me into a critical thinker of the built environment. She gave me a lot of time and energy for which I am forever indebted. Below are some images from my time in Himachal Pradesh with Didi and many other wonderful people.
