Final Year Architecture Thesis :: DESIGN ABSTRACT
Inherent Memories_Pandharpur
Merging with the rural urban mix of buildings, the structure is an escape within the chaos of the buzzing temple town of Pandharpur. The edifice is a catalyst which celebrates the lost culture and craftsmanship. It salvages the heritage structure and the craft, otherwise neglected, and includes them in the celebration of a city of culture, colour and chaos. The site is cradled by the main temple street, the Ghats and surrounded by a dense cluster of dwelling. Together they mould a strong contextual framework for design. Without an overt imagery, the design forms a pause of dialogue between the cultural memories of Pandharpur, past and present. A merely articulated assembly of vertical and horizontal spaces in its setting reconciles interaction amid history, narratives and skills, through an idiom rediscovering regional identity of Pandharpur.
