Classic Indian texts and Vaastupurusha Mandala are not often
discussed in the western discourse on urbanism, even while much of
these predate the commonly taught European writings. This book
sheds light on some of those forgotten concepts, thus making
the lesser discussed classic Indian town organization ideas
accessible to architecture, landscape, and urban planning
students worldwide.  The resonance of these concepts in
present times are reviewed through case studies of select Hindu
temple towns in India. Furthermore, the author underscores
the formal abstraction of the classic Indian Mandala and
transplants the discourse from sociology to socio-ecologically
adept trans-disciplinary design thinking. The creative
interpretations offer a premise to start revising classic models
for current practice to influence the urbanism and ecology of a
place in accordance with the changing climate.
