Situated Sensemaking at the Urban Thresholds of Powai Lake

Situated Sensemaking at the Urban Thresholds of Powai Lake investigates the computational, ecological, and social dynamics where urban infrastructure meets the natural ecosystem of Powai Lake. Through real-time sensing, spatial interaction, and participatory fieldwork, the project explores how live interactive systems can foster collective awareness and sensemaking among urban communities.
