A time to free one’s mind, a time to interact, a time to bring some zest into the semester, ‘In spirit’, the annual architectural fest was held on 22nd, 23rd and 24th of April, 2010.
Fish. Strange creatures. They say that’s where we came from. Some people (like that crazy Frank O’Gehry) even take inspiration from them. Personally, I’m not a fan, but when you are gifted two gold fish as pets, you can’t help but stare at them in some desperate hope that inspiration may strike you too.
Away from the hustle-bustle of big city life, tucked away in the Western Ghats are the little villages of Horanadu, Sringeri and Augumbe. For us city-breds, this village documentation trip turned out to be quite an interesting learning experience.
