A travelling exhibition on Laurie Baker, the architect and philosophy
Today,when the western images dominating design and architecture students’ minds, they are always disassociated with indigenous practices. With jargonized consciousness around, it is the time is to realise the inspirations from self. Specially, when there is a breeze of sustainability in design environment, and complex facial approaches towards it, there is a need to come up with really relevant and simple methods. Architect Laurie Baker’s work lies in the relevant domain of indigenous geniuses. His wide variety of works handled with not so common ‘common sense’ is boon for this century.
Being an architecture student, I always heard and acknowledged Laurie Baker’s work, but never realised the strength of his way of building, which lie in the power of simplicity. So, I saw the project-2 as an opportunity to present, to our generation, a relevant philosophy towards design and life.
