VANDLS is an urban intervention research project by ARCHV, developed through the Sunday Service sessions with The Initiative. It moves beyond awareness of local environmental issues toward small guerrilla interventions that support shared habitats for people, street animals and nature.

The process combines observation, mapping, design, full-scale prototyping and field testing. Guided by Faizan Khatri of The Initiative, the participants were Nayan Mote, Sneha Desai, Yash Pendse, Varun Mehta and Advaita Kelkar.
