Perception : "Architecture for me means a lot more than a creative form with well planned functions. It is a resource provided by architects to the society. It is about improving the living conditions of the people. It is intended to deliver the basic need of shelter through our design. It is a social art exhibited around us everywhere."

Have you added your imagination to the streets , sky and the air in between?

Something in the space , only you have seen?

Inked your memories to it? Left a trace?

Discovered your niche? Deciphered the maze?

Did something you have recalled in a crowd or loneliness?

Have you created your place in a space?

Food street view

SAROD GHAR Project Type : Architecture Documentation Competition: Nari Gandhi Trophy 2016 (NASA) Theme : Architecture-Culture Connect Group Members : 10 Site Location : Gwalior, M.P., India Project date : Jan 2017

05 Sarod ghar, a prominenet residence (now a museum) in the lashkar district of gwalior has a strong musical history as it was the residence of Hafeez Ali Khan. It was transitioned from a court to a residence where sarod was invented. The house is now a living heritage in itself. The legacy of sarod ghar over powers the political manifestations, saving the nieghbourhood from demolition.

The architecture of this house has a musical influence which can be seen in the various architectural elements. For example the doors and the windows are acting as facade modulator rythmically, the steps and landings of the staircase create a rythmic movement stimulus and the jharokas act as buffer zones which create pause in the movement after definite intervals creating a harmony in spaces. The brackets, columns, arches, jalis and all the other elements are inspired from the local architecure of gwalior. The musical influence is symbolically visible in the railing as it has punctures in the shape of sarod.

Documentation Methodology: • Project Brief • Cultural Interpretation • Site Identification • Site Survey • Building Documentation • Cultural Documentation • Digital Modelling • Drawings Production • Owner Interviews • Spatial Logic

Spatial Logics: 1. Entrance Threshold : 10.

Transition from the hustle bustle of street to a peaceful courtyard.
