The Ro o t s...
Studio Roots and Basics is a Environment Sensitive Practice from Pune. It is the brain-child and initiative of Ar. Rohan Nahar which was establised in May 2013.
Later on after graduation in May 2010, he worked with Ar. Eugene Pandala, Kerala to design and build the first Mud house after graduation. The touch, smell, feel of mud, its properties and behaviour and moulding it into elements that create spaces seemed very exciting and they only went to consolidate his beliefs into a practice that now is referred to as STUDIO ROOTS AND BASICS.
The intent of the practice is to work with COMMUNITIES to develop Need Based Infrastructure by engaging the local people by making them develop the sense of belonging to their own community.
This can be further strengthened by building with LOCAL MATERIALS & TRADITIONAL WISDOM of the place.
