Enlivening the Spirit of History for Inspirations Today and Tomorrow
Architecture is an expression of art secured in time. Architectural design is an exercise which involves proportionate utilization of elementary principles such as function, timelessness, materials, technology, aesthetics, climate, form etc simultaneously. Approach for design is crucial as it the determinant factor for an architectural design output. Approaches to design vary from person to person, but what remains as a fundamental aspect is the inspiration for design and design process. This paper specifically focuses on the history of Indian Architecture and how one can get inspired from the design guidelines that history of Indian Architecture provides us even today. The idea is to explore History of Architecture and Architectural Design together, by making an attempt of jugglery between different styles, different times, different places but to suit the conditions of today. There is a lot to acknowledge and interpret from our history and heritage, especially architecture, as history has the best design guidelines which respond aptly to the vernacular character of that place, the lifestyle of the users and building traditions of that time. The study and analysis shall be from History of Architecture, whereas, the application of the analysis shall be for a housing design for present context.
