Thikaana- Issue 1

Why are you here? The curiosity of a place and space with every inch of how its being is brought alive. The most important aspect that a space brings about is not the space, but the comfort to us, the fulfilment of the purpose of its existence. With the awareness of people evolving way beyond basic spaces, we see that everyone has their own requirement on what kind of space they require.

So many kinds of space, so many different purposes for each of them, it is almost like a parallel universe within itself, because it all brings out a different kind of energy and boosts of a unique aura.

Every space is its own identity, which has been given to it by the designer or the architect of the space. Spaces are a feeling in themselves, but that is only because we feel and interact with these spaces. The human to space interaction is so important that it dictates alot of the emotions we feel and stimulates or calms them to a certain extent.

Space is way more than we can describe it to be. Even more than what we can feel it to be.

Architecture is not merely a design of structures. The planning and designing, all are an intricate part of the design process. This process defines how a person shall experince a space. It is a feeling, an emotion and a way of expression of the humanity that we all share. The comfort that we have lost, somewhere we find that in the spaces that we experience.

By experience, I mean a full sense experience as a human. Each and every sense of the human body is awakened and necessary in the feeling of a space in its absolute and complete sense. As architects we design and create space which enable optimum human experience and allow human intercation in the maximum limit.

The role of an architect is not limited to just erecting building and designing an area. The role of an architect is more intricate than which has been visible. We design spaces which enable humans to interact with each other and nature in a way what is a comfortable environment. An interaction which is a reason for growth and progression of the society.

We do not realize that intercations and comfort which we are entitled to enable through our designs, keeps us at a powerful position in the society and the people, which is sensitive too. Designing spaces with intricacy and indulgance makes us come up with spaces and designs, which are perfect for humans, espcially the people using that specific space. With every space a person uses, it has been designed by someone or the other.

Our role is to bring the society together, by making inclusive spaces for all sections, genders, religions and sects of society, without any descrimination. We hold a power to the most comfortable spaces of human and have a key to their comfort and engagement. If we take on the charge of what the society entrusts us with and bring our sensitive nature into understanding the requirement of human nature, we will certainly be a much more important chain binding the society together.
