VISHRAM

Krishna is the custodian of the neighbourhood place, he stays in one of the house in the village along with his grandparents. He has his workspace in the neighbourhood place near statue of unity where he runs the business of tour and travels and by his passion he manages home stay for 10 to 15 peoples and running the public awareness welfare centre regarding agriculture and the space is running with the help of two locals. His various tasks include inviting teachers, getting resources, organising small events, curating exhibitions and ,many more. The semi open space is open for lectures and workshops. So if there needs to be agriculture workshop for locals or a public health seminar or an informative session on scientific advancements in agriculture, this classroom comes in handy. While designing, think of it as a space that is open to visitors throughout the day. Thinking of how this can be achieved through your design without compromising the environment of home stay. There is a meeting space that can accommodate 25-30 people. Krishna has come up with a ritual where once every fortnight a topic gets democratically discussed and debated. This space is informal and issues and suggestions related to betterment of the village are noted down. Smaller meetings related to organizing an exhibition or a musical performance also happen in this space. We can introduce differently sized courtyards for different kinds of activities and interaction. Out of which one of the courtyards is a leisure courtyard where people can sit and have tea, read a newspaper and can discuss a debate on politics.
