ARCHITECTURAL
PARCTICE 2040 – FACE SHIFTING PICTURE OF RURAL INDIA
Driving back home, my grandparents’ home where I use to visit
every summer vacation, those mango trees are load with summer treats where I
use to play in my childhood. The changes crept so silently in my twenty three
years of visits, village seem still the same. Living in cities where everything
seems shinny and new, in villages it not surprise that people were still
struggling with basic needs and far away from concept of development. Electricity,
medical it was all there but it’s feeble, the problems were still the same as
it was twenty year down the line proper housing, sanitation issues, education and
proper and constant monetary flow. It made us contemplate on the idea of
development, it’s understandable that why India is referred as third world.
“Architecture is a powerful
tool, if it’s handled and communicated properly can have large impact on people
and community.” Studio’s key element would be innovation in designing and
construction with the local people.
Studio aims to push boundaries between cities and villages
with four to five architects enthusiastic enough to change the picture of rural
India. Living and working in villages studio team delivers projects in close collaboration
with local communities that we serve, looking carefully at local resources, climate,
culture and skills, ensuring high quality of construction standards and have
maximum social impact. This way a sense of belonging blooms in the community
towards their village. Sharing skills and knowledge on site can boost power in
the people and local traditional methods of construction and new technologies
can give birth to new technique of construction.
By engaging with market opportunities, enterprise and
financing models, we can help people increase their earning potential and simplify
self-sufficient access to construction needs and other living costs. Studio involves
in research, survey and interactions with villagers to understand the issues
from its roots and solve it with the help of local community.
The studio collaborated with non-profit and non-government organisations
who are willing to help in this program, involving communities at different levels
from designing to construction to maintenance of village creates dignity and
leads to sustainable development in communities. Issues like sanitation and
housing can be easily handled with the help of community but issues like
education (more than schooling) and constant monetary flow can only be achieved
through unity amongst community. Making villages a better place to live.
Migration in search of jobs to the cities is one major issue
as it increases urban population and after 20 years graph would be rocketing up
the sky, studio also aims to create revenue in village itself that would help
in controlling migration. Encouraging local craftsmanship and art may open
windows to tourism and that means monetary flow in the villages.
But before dealing with the design process and community, I aim
to work for few years in offices and NGO’s that would increase my knowledge in
the field of architecture. Learning through the various opportunities to
understand professionalism. This include leaning about office management, various
methods of construction, material integration, and site work. This would also
help me understanding the flow of office and it would prepare me as a better
architect of the future.
