Considering the building material they used to build modular houses with the common measurement that was finalized by anthropometry. The (Morungs) – a place to stay for boy soldiers – and their traditional houses were a great example of how space syntax responded to the planning and construction of the structure. It will stand testimony to the traditional building technology and form.įorm follows function, but here, form follows climate. The aim of the insert is to encourage locals to identify the potential of bamboo and practice their weaving skills. The concerns I had regarding Khonoma’s return to bamboo increased after seeing this scenario, which is the reason I proposed the insert bamboo workshops. Present-day, flat roof constructions are creating leakage problems, which is not an ideal response to the amount of rainfall the area witnesses. Adapting to new technology, the community is neglecting bamboo’s natural response to its microclimate, while bricks and concrete create damp conditions. The knowledge of using bamboo in structures is fading away with time. While documenting the community, for new structures coming up, bamboo is only used for aesthetic purposes, while concrete and bricks are used for structural purposes. It sits comfortable and cozy around the green backdrop of a rich bamboo plantation. Nagaland and especially Khonoma is blessed with a natural assets like Bamboo. Generations of youth are leaving villages to earn a living or work, leaving their elders behind.Įach visit to Khonoma brought a new story, and with every story, the concern to conserve the culture, material, and architecture of the space became much stronger. Throughout the period of my internship, I visited the village and met the people around the place, many times. The rich architecture and culture of the place are still seen through the community that is still living there. Khonoma is known as Asia’s first green village, situated near the Indo-Myanmar border, in the Indian state of Nagaland. The architecture of the future should be about creating spaces that are nothing yet everything Living organism-ever-changing, ever-adapting, and ever-evolving-regardless of the context The temporary becomes the new permanent and architecture is no longer a static object. The entires hell of the building is kept while the intervention happens later. The whole point was to decode a built space, keeping The thesis ends with one of the variations of a building that has evolved overtime, where half theīuilding is occupied by a thematic parasite. Building this space once, without static rigidity helps it to House to be more than what it is - capable of holding infinite spaces - and the owner can buildĪgain and again based on the events. For example ,in a small village,a person who gives more space for thematic spaces instead of static spaces allows for the We should make spaces suited to accommodate unpredictability. Resources, which contrary to what we think, is not infinite, just like the way the earth itself is not infinite. Going forward, we need to be more considerate towards the future, taking account of how we use Works have a side of reality that brings them into the realm of plausibility. This project might seem fictional but, just like how we see in comics or fictional movies, these The thesis is heavily influenced by movies and books which fantasize about the architecture of the future However, all of this seems hypothetical, when every thesis project, every drawing on a paper is, why can’t we allow ourselves to dwell more on imagination, than the reality of everything.
