Journal of landscape architectureSummary: The landscape of Kashmir exhibits a unique regional ‘order’ of settlement, culture, and agrarian practices governed extensively by its terrain. The weftface of Kashmir’s signature tapestry is characterized by a series of underlying interrelated patterns responsive to its ecological, social, cultural, and economic practices. These underlying networked processes are often understated in the planning process. Revisiting the valley as a ground for potential exploration of its neglected processes, embodied values, and traditional wisdom provides an insight into its experience-centered landscape. The ‘object-people-engagement’ network in an interconnected landscape, when observed using a multi-ocular approach, attributes values of a greater human-cultural system embedded in its mountains, karewas [table lands], caves, rivers, swamps, springs, lakes, agricultural fields, gardens, and settlements.
