Working towards Sensitive Living

Traditionally, natural materials like earthenware and bamboo have been used for everyday purpose and over time, have evolved into objects that have optimised the property of the material and provided a unique way of life. Similarly spaces have also been used to create a better experience. For instance, having a courtyard with a tulsi plant in the centre and several houses with a central courtyard which enhance community living.

Drawing on tacit knowledge and common sense, the constraints involved are drawing a line between tradition and superstition and also categorising between the functional and the decorative use of those materials.

This project will suggest ways in which these findings may be incorporated it into the fast-paced urban lifestyle generating a wholesome experience.
