Jury Comments
Architecture acts as a facilitator in handling productivity here, and should be reflected in the design.
Material selection should also respond to climatological aspects.
The evolution of clusters should be explained with cut plans.
The proposed project will be a design solution to the proposal put forward by the Madhya Pradesh Hastashilp Evam Hathkargha Vikas Nigam Limited, which aims to develop a handloom vi llage for about 230 Weavers' families in the city of Chanderi and create a future Landmark of this historic city. Designing an 'integrated weaving production and commerce center' in Chanderi, which includes Developing weaver's housing clusters in response to their unique livelihoods. The project is proposed by the Madhya Pradesh Hastashilp Evam Hathkargha Vikas Nigam Limited for approximately 150 weavers households with 'micro-clusters' within the proposed weaving cluster, with spatial hierarchy catering to the different
Levels of weavers, create a training center and common facility center along with community facilities to impart the collective growth of weavers and thus escaping the vicious hierarchy of merchants and traders. In a globalizing world threatened by corporate homogeneity and complicated by translation, Indian weaving clusters offer a window into a place that is deeply connected to its social, cultural and natural environment. A living heritage indeed, the Indian handloom industry has stood the test of time and has been contributing to the country in a plethora of enclaves. Analogous to any other 'Living system', the Indian hand loom ind ustry too, experiences incessant transience. Especially at this point in time, when the challenges faced by the industry couldn't have been more severe, such communities do need some empathy and attention from various sects of the society and the government alike. these design interventions aim in taking forward the 'Living heritage' of Chanderi, i.e. the handloom weaving whi le incorporating the technological advancements, and a revamped business model to facilitate this dying craft. The Intervention proposed will aim at recapturing and augmenting the 'Genius Loci' of the Indian Handloom Weavers' clusters, by designing a state-of-the-art handloom production village in Chanderi. The conceived proposal would demonstrate AvantGarde spatial planning while taking forward the vernacular language of the region.
