Sustainable Architecture . Sem 7 .

The studio brief was to design a small scale crafts industry while exploring the idea of sustainibility . The task was to create an extension of the Kishkindha trust , an existing NGO based in Anegundi. The trust manufactures various products with local materials like water hyacinth and banana fibers. In doing so they engage with the women of the town. An expansion to the trust was seen as a way of sustaining this community of women by providing income and also promoting arts and craft of Anegundi. This centre was also seen as an oppurtunity to invite visitors and tourists to see the making of these products as they form the major source of the revenue.
