Project 356

As I got pretty good reviews on the last blog I wrote (for those of you living under a rock, Introducing the interns) luckily I got to kick working drawings out of my life and drag the blog in.

Sai is a great believer that if you love something, do it obsessively. And though my obsession never gets to see the light of the other day it has become my goal to take up a Project 356 (or at least a project 90?). The point being I will be updating every day, at least one post talking about (if not architecture) the life of an intern.

It could be about anything, from design to basic Sandarbh gossip. It would be a picture from the eyes of Shreya “The intern”.

Starting off I believe my first project 365 should be about my one true love. This being Valentine's day it would be almost poetic.

Architecture.

The mother of all arts, architecture has been the most talked about field than its other sisters, sculpting and art. One may not understand art but one definitely understands architecture. It is a language of the senses. And in today’s world people are realizing the real importance of it.

And one might pontificate there are several things great about architecture. It is beauty (but what is beauty?). It is luxury (but what is luxury?) and it is necessity. But nothing listed above tells us what lies within. The true soul. The real question. What makes it so darn relevant?

If words are used for documenting the past events. Architecture would be used for documenting the past experiences. And so in that experience we find the connection to the people who were.

And that makes it relevant.

That makes it beautiful, luxurious and a necessity.
