Aim and Objective
To promote the cultural and rich heritage of the tribal people for human enrichment of both present and future generations. Promoting training programmes workshops to enhance tribal handicrafts,arts. To preserve the old practices and culture. setup training and resource facilities for providing and promoting tribal cultural heritage and communal harmony.
The objective of this thesis is to examine how a group of people can retain its cultural integrity when under economic development pressure. I will be using design as a point of departure in looking at how to approach and preserve a culture. Beginning by a search of indigenous folktales, analysis of traditional living patterns, inquiry about cultural and social taboos, and observing building form, to define phenomena unique to individual cultures. Attempt to design a methodology of study that takes into account culturally specific issues that affect architectural forms Some of the important crafts in Jharkhand are bamboo crafts, wood crafts, metal works, Paitkar paintings, ornaments, stone carvings and toys

INTRODUCTION: A project development by initiative of the sports brand Adidas in support of street furniture developed for well being using recycled materials.
AIM: The aim was to find a place well connected to the city of Milan. As public transport is the most common point of our target in the street we thought of improving its experience.
For our project we wanted to use such an object which is connected to the city of Milan, easy to find and easy to reuse, later we found an abandoned bicycle which became a perfect object for our project. We have use every part of it : “an abandoned bicycle so became a several new tools to train...from old to new, from unused to useful’’

The break area is the core of the project. The circular shape of the focal elements is the starting point of all the circular shape inside the entire space. This is an ergonomic furniture because give to the people different way of sitting, eating, sleeping in respect with the different culture. Thanks to technology, the community can go outside this place and be connected with other Amazon’s warehouse. The central element has background walls designed with the diverse cultural patterns blend with different shapes which connects the employees emotionally and gives a sense of belonging to the space. The central element became a meeting point for the employees where they can share daily moment like in a family. Orange color reflect the brand Identity, OSB and plywood represents the frugality and cushion give the sense of family comfort.

Through the corridor the employees reach our filter area, where they can start to feel a part of the community. The circular shape gives a sense of protection and help to connect with other employees physically and digitally. The vertical shape in the centre acts as a totem. To create a strong connection between people we use a digital support that help people to know better each other in order to create a powerful community. Here employees can have a slow change of mood between break and work area. People can stop themselves s, relax and get involved inside the big family.. All around this space, on the wall, there are pattern that represents the different culture, these are inspired from the five continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, America and Australia.
