Project Description:

Background 1: Indian Heritage
October 2022, Hampi, Karnataka, India; During my visit to Hampi, an ancient village that is dotted with numerous ruined temples of the Vijayanagara Empire, I observed many attempts to preserve the ruins of the temples, forts and many monumental structures in the region. The beauty in these structures and the glorious tales written on the cracks of the fallen, inspired me to preserve a bit of that heritage in modern homes and thus this project

Background 2: Wabi Sabi
The Japanese design principle of Wabi Sabi has worldwide recognition. The principle briefly enables one to identify the beauty in imperfection. The appreciation of the fallen heritage of Hampi, Karnataka, closely resembles the Wabi Sabi principle.

Hence, I present you this project, designed using the Japanese Wabi-Sabi principles, yet deeply roots India’s Heritage in its soul.
