n the spring of 2007, Liz worked with Cultural Resource Conservation Initiative (CRCI), a Delhi-based architectural conservation firm, to prepare a conservation management plan for the Red Fort in Delhi, India. As site interpretation and educational outreach consultant she met with conservation architects, landscape architects, art historians, urban planners and designers as she drafted an interpretation strategy that communicated the multi-layered history of the site to visitors. Her final recommendations, which included walking tours, audio guides, site maps, and building signage, were submitted to the client, the Archaeological Survey of India.

Built as a palace fort by the Emperor Shahjahan in the 17th century, the Red Fort today tells the story of Indian history from the Mughal period to Colonial times to the struggle for independence. This history can be read in the existing built fabric – a unique assemblage of imperial structures, pavilions, gateways, service areas, and bazaars all planned around courtyards and gardens, presenting a richly women urban fabric.
