In:
Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The site is located in Jaipur, Rajasthan
that is synonymous with sandstone as
a building material but sadly, over the
last few decades, this material has been
reduced to a 'cladding' medium and its
potential as a robust and sustainable
structural element has not been
explored.
The house in Jaipur presented us with
an opportunity to explore and evolve
a method of building that has been
prevalent in traditional buildings for
centuries. We laid out a simple brief:
no material other than stone should
be used for construction.This made
us dive deeply into the art of 'making'
with stone and the first sketches
were the confluence of traditional
knowledge reinforced with cutting-edge
engineering.
