INTRODUCTION
India's culture is among the world's oldest; civilization in India
began about 4,500 years ago. India is a diverse country, a fact
that is visibly prominent in its people, culture and climate.
From the eternal snows of the Himalayas to the cultivated
peninsula of far South, from the deserts of the West to the
humid deltas of the East, from the dry heat and cold of the
Central Plateau to the cool forest foothills, Indian lifestyles
clearly glorify the geography.
The food, languages, clothing and habits follow different
religions of an Indian differ in accordance to the place of
origin.
The culture variations are not slight and hence cannot be
ignored. In-fact each Indian state have their own culture to
boast about. But due to cultural ignorance, many Indian, as
well as foreigners do not know the deeper meaning of each
culture and hence assume various stereotypes that exists
nowadays. Hence there is dire need to educate the people and
the people and visitors, exactly about various rich indian
cultures and simultaneously encourage the cultural
development, giving importance to the lifestyle of artisans,
craftsmen etc. Architecture can act as a important catalyst to
bring about all of this.
There has been complete cultural negligence in India in last
few decades , with the growth of modern technology. With
the influx of new modern equipment's and the craze with the
western cultural adoption, Indian are in the verge of losing
their own cultural. The idea of adopting to the western culture
considered prestigious and trendy among this generation as is
advertised and promoted by global icons.
The lack in promoting and encouraging may not only lead to
cultural extinction but also affects cultural tourism to a cultural
extent.
First and foremost , the prevailing misconceptions about Indians
And about state cultural need to be broken . Interest to learn,
Follow and adopt our culture will boost our cultural value
worldwide. Hence there is an immediate need to educate about
our culture to us and our neighbors.
AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT
The design proposal aim to create holistic architectural
experience showcasing cultural in all aspects. The art and
cultural should be systemized in single coherent body from
inside as well as outside the building. Beginning from the core
exhibit area to the exterior environment, everything should
reflect cultural in its own way, to create vibrant and dynamic
Experience for the visitors .
• To develop a effective space in the Centre, so that people can
easily relate themselves to the city and its culture.
• To develop the facilities and the amenities to the Centre so
that the people can be served in most aesthetical and
functional way and also create a perfect mood for the
visitors, which could help them in relating their soul with the
city.
• To generate more and more revenue from the tourists.
LIMITATIONS
India is culturally rich country .It cannot be defined as one single
cultural as there are more than 200 variations from region to
region . Only those cultural that prevail predominantly in Indian
subcontinents are taken into consideration for designing
building. Other cultures are showcased in temporary exhibit and
shall not dedicated space for them.
The space design only adhere to indian cultural aspects and
not to any foreign cultures.
The proposal aspire to solve various programmatic and various
socialistic issues that arise , while designing the cultural hub.
