As architects look for ingenious use of raw materials with bespoke designs, traditional crafts can play a vital role in sustainable designs. Margherita Cesca, Director of Architecture, Lanpro UK in exclusive interaction casts a light on the significance of ancient crafts in a paradigm of Modern and Future Architecture.
How an Architect’s ability to synthesize the crafts can be leveraged in modern architectures?
As a designer/architect I push myself to discover, discuss and talk about the raw materials, the production, and manufacturing of the products I specify. In order to respond to Climate Change and adapt to the Circular Economy principles, I have the responsibility of learning and understanding the full cycle of the materials I select for my projects. In my opinion, this is a paradigm of Modern and Future Architecture.
Shed some light on the role of collaboration between European and modern Indian architects to bring about designs that reflect cross-cultural engagement.
India inspires energy, creativity, and contemplation. Creativity coupled with heritage and innovation. Combining modern requirements with ancient traditions is one of the keys to positive design. Creativity allows the process to become interesting, appealing, and surprisingly effective. The secret is more communication and exchange.
