Indian culture into Design - What's great about Indian architecture?

"Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness" that's exactly what I love about Indian architecture, its filled with stories, details, colors and flamboyance of a particular time.

India as a country has different cultures enbibed in it for centuries, the diversity we hold is higher than that of any other country in the world, I find inspiration in cultural history, every city has a its own story to tell with a different flavor and ambience that it carries. Each Transitional influence in Indian history has included new cultural changes in its world of art and architecture. The amalgamation of various cultures has given us the opportunity to explore diverse concepts while designing a space.

“Culture is the new concept, having said that, old is the new NEW”

We have lost the creativity in embracing historic culture when the word "contemporary" effected the world of art, we stopped appreciating details because NO details and straight lines are easier to execute, in the process of saving time we are losing the Individual personality we hold within the countries architecture.

Why are details important?

Details mean effort, effort means thoughtfulness, and nothing is more intriguing than a piece of work that's done thoughtfully.

It isn't wrong to be inspired by new styles and inventions, it is just as right as it is to embrace our own culture in design.

I yearn in bring back the dignity and Desirability of our cultural aesthetics back into our lives.
