[sayandeb mukherjee]

dear all,

in the interface section of the third posting i am
presenting a kind of questionaire that needs
conceptual clarifications that can further reinforce
my project. if you know any references or if you
yourself have an idea about the topic, kindly respond

THE INTERFACE-3RD POSTING

The questionaire

1. What are the changes that happened in the field of
architecture that mark its difference from the
colonial period?
2. Do you think that after the invasion of British and
after their reign in India for a considerable period,
Indian architecture, somewhat lost their identity for
a continuous adoption of western architectural
vocabularies, or do they still possess unhybridized,
indigenous architectural models/styles. If they’ve
done so, could you enlighten us about the elements
that discriminate the modern architectural models from
that of the pre-colonial and colonial period?
Highlight the areas of changes/shift that happened due
to the colonial influences, if any. 
3. Are you agreeable to the fact that there used to be
practiced a kind of space lavishness in the
pre-colonial period or early India. If yes, how?
4. Has the space-consciousness evolved with the
progression of the post-colonial period? Kindly
enlighten us about its development. Did this lead to
the strategy of maximum and multiple utility in a
minimized living space.
5. How a human built space affect the human mind. What
are the layers of consciousness that are influenced by
the living and working space?
6. Corridors used to exist in public or religious
spaces in early days. But now, it has also become an
integral part of domestic spaces. Please explain this
intrusion of a new space in the domestic domain. 
7. Do you think, that this corridor or like spaces
have gone through a degradation aesthetically, as we
consider the historicity of architecture since
colonial period.  Express your views in this regard on
the statement – ‘
 corridors of today have become not
more than a blatant, aesthetically flat and monotonous
commutative space. Nowadays it is not constructed with
a pre-planning considering the above factors. It
emerges by virtue of the construction of two parallel
walls. Corridors that were integrated in constructions
during the pre-colonial period used to have a display
of artistic splendor like stone carvings, sculpted
columns, paintings, murals and many other artistic
elements embodied with heritage. 
8. How will you discriminate an apartment-corridor
from a corridor in a public space?  

with best regards
