CHAPTER 1: 1.1 INTRODUCTION:
The weaving industry is one of the largest industries in India. The art of weaving has been an integral part of Indian history since ancient times. The rich hand woven materials are preferred worldwide, but the primary stakeholders- the weavers- are at the risk. Due to globalization and the lack of upgradation, the handloom weaving industry is heavily suffered.
Weaving is the process of exploration of forms, space, light, colors and patterns, thus these abstractions creates endless possibilities and opportunities for a design to transform. In order to formulate the architectural solutions it is necessary to understand the issues that handloom industry faces today and the trend of the occupation.
