INTRODUCTION
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
- Pablo Picasso
India the colorful and vibrant land is as diverse as its people. The mosaic of art and
culture, the potpourri of tradition, India stands as one of the oldest living civilization
which offered to the rest of the world the elemental sound „aum,‟ (om) , the concept of
zero and the richness of yoga.
Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the
senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and
modes of expression, including music, literature, photography, sculpture, and paintings.
The concern for the village and its environment works as the backbone of this complex.
It not only provides an improved working environment to artists but will also contribute to
the urban level functions that a living city requires.
For a living, the artists here practiced as art teachers in schools or as designers but they
were permitted too little time for sustained creative work. Part time work of two or three
hours a day where the artists could freely extend their art on to a congenial craft of
utilitarian nature appeared to be the answer.
REASON FOR SELECTION OF TOPIC
 The Indian art and craft makes India a famous tourist destination. People love to
shop in India for the variety it provides in art and craft. Every region has it unique
creative art and craft.
 Reconciliation artisan village is a centre or platform through which culture and art
can be promoted. To provide an amalgamation of handicrafts, food and cultural
activities.
 It is a centre which creates an environment that is educating the public on the

indigenous traditions and at the same time to bridge the gap between the
craftsmen and the purchaser, giving better opportunity to the artisan/ craftsman
for marketing.
 To create a space for recreation and interaction, where the general masses can
come, see the displayed art form, watch the performing art, interact with the
2
artists and get informed in the general sense of the word about the art and the
artists currently practicing it.
 The connections between the rural and urban centers and the poor infrastructural
set up leave the customers with limited choice to explore all such diversified
handicraft items. On the other hand, interest in Ethnic Gujarat is growing day by
day in the foreign and Indian tourist sector.
 Hence the artisans development is necessary and has been selected as the
cornerstone of this Thesis project. Hence the artisans development is necessary
and has been selected as the cornerstone of this Thesis project.
Aim and Objectives
 To highlight the quantity and uplift the quality of art works and promote the
appreciation of art in the city.

museums, studios, workshops and other facilities necessary to fulfill the above
objectives and provide recreational facilities.
 To create an environment for the preservation of the traditional crafts which are
fast dying due to the onslaught of industrial products. In the pursuit of this aim, it
would further be necessary to establish a direct contact between the craftsmen
and the buyer by removing the middlema.
SCOPE
 To understand relationship between built and open spaces.

 The design would focus upon landscaping and would stress upon the relationship
with its immediate surrounding.
LIMITATION
As the project contains an apparently vast infrastructure variety of functional

components. Thus, it would not be possible to stress upon a particular component of its
functional utility.
