Weavers CENTRE

AIM
To provide a platform that generates opportunities for the town to evolve its heritage,
economy and culture

SCOPE OF WORK
 By collaborating learning and business in one unit, it would help each other to
involve each other in their same field.
 This project focuses on the upgradation of the weaving industry of Maheshwar.
The project has major two components for the upgradation of weavers,
Common facility Center.
 Handloom Institute.

OBJECTIVES

 To provide a platform where the Weavers can generate opportunities to keep the
cultural and economic values of the town intact.
 To facilitate collectivization of handloom weavers for production, marketing and
other supportive activities to promote a sustainable growth to the town.
 To act as a center for learning and developing innovative designs and fabric
samples and other related services to the cluster on continuous basis.
 To disseminate information about the development in handloom industry.
 To provide a self-sustaining unit to the Weavers which can upgrade the economy
as well as their skills.

METHODOLOGY:
The study involves three stages,
Study of weaving industry of Maheshwar.
Understanding the patterns of the particular art form.
Interpretation of patterns in Architectural design.

CONCEPTUAL NOTE:
The main idea is to merge the abstractions of weaving with the architectural language of the
place. Weaving is a process of exploration of forms, space, light, colors and pattern; thus,
these abstractions creates endless possibilities and opportunities for a design to transform.

Warps and wefts are the basic elements of weaving fabrics. Abstractions of inter sections,
inter relations, mixture of colors, mergence, densification are carried forward to understand
the in-depth patterns of weaving. The beating mechanisms orders the warp yarns, control
their density and packs the weft yarns into position.
By merging those abstractions with the built forms, the building would go into continuity as
that of fabrics, as a loom undergoes a particular process through which a fabric takes it birth,
the building acts as a giant loom which allows the activities to beat up and form a weaved
complex.

There are basically three interfaces planned out at site level:

1) Interface with the existing town. (This interface is to extend the activities of the town to
the site, the fort is the end point to the main road, whereas the site acts as another end point
to the parallel road of the main road.)
2) Interface with the river. (The building acts as a pavilion which drags one to the river, All
the activities and spaces are directed towards river)
3) Interface with the immediate context. Taking the immediate context of site into
consideration, the design responds to the road, major nodes and existing fort wall.
