Well just returned from a 2 week trip to India so have not posted in a while.
A certain level of consciousness had to be taken on this trip though. With all the amazing palaces, temples and complexes that we saw it was very easy to get caught up in the history and forget one important thing:
How are people using these spaces now?
All of these places which we visited are vital to the history of the culture, country and world but then what? Well how do we begin now to inhabit these spaces? Use the space? Ideas of public and social space come into play.
Well with the size of some of these palaces, forts and such, it is hard to get a grasp of the human scale because the scale of these places are so large.
So I adventured on this trip keeping in mind the human scale and how humans use these spaces now.
