Abstract: *Dissertations in Architecture: Working Paper Series (Volume 6, 2015-16)* presents a collection of studies exploring architectural evolution, settlement patterns, and cultural significance across India, with a focus on Goa. It examines urban and rural architecture, including Dongrim Village and Panaji, highlighting post-1961 architectural transformations. The volume explores themes of identity, community, and space, analyzing the impact of colonial and local influences on Goa’s built environment.
