Kadiyomali…..I don’t know whether one knows about the story behind this blog name… well let me share this. Since it would help us to lead to a discussion which I think is good to initiate or start of this blog….
Kadiyomali = ‘kadiyo’ + ‘
‘Kadiyo’is gujarati word meaning mason
‘
My parents always wanted me to a doctor (I still wonder why), which I never wanted to be. But somehow after all dhishum dhism with them I could mange to land into architecture…. My mom was quite upset and with disappointed heart told me ‘to tu kadiyo banvani che?!!!’ meaning ‘so you gonno be a mason??!!!!’
Ah!! I felt too bad about it… but after years I still remember this comment of hers. As I gradually learned and understand that masonry or work of mason is most basic thing for application of all thoughts of work of architecture….
Rather I would say if we can build wall ourselves then we can build anything.
After 6 years story repeats as I landed in to landscape architecture which my parents were completely unaware or rather I must say till now they don’t know exactly what job does a landscape architects do??? And this time it was me who explain in simply manner that is work of ‘
So this story was trying to put across that how we can be simplify or generate basic common sense into architecture as well as landscape to communicate to general mass.
If we talk about Landscape what job we are suppose to play…
Well I know these discussions have always been heard many many times... … Also during our academic days it would how we tend to take this role of landscape architect in future. But unfortunately that exercise lead to ‘EVOLUTION OF LANDSCAPE THEORY’ but I still feel that most primary question of our role as landscape architect is still unanswered.......
Today after a year of ongoing experience with various kinds of project I still question myself what role do I play as landscape architect or landscape designer?
P.S.: Please don’t blame me or ask me that what the hell have you learned from Prof .Bhagwat in two years huh???!!!! Well I did learn many things from him and I feel very lucky enough that I have studied under him….
