Designing Relationships!
February 8, 2022
“ ARCHITECTURE IS NOT ABOUT THE WALLS, BUT THE SPACE BETWEEN THE WALLS ”
Valentine’s Day is around the corner and while love is in the air, love is also in the little things we enjoy, little smiles we get and little joys in every little experience.
While Valentine’s day is associated with love and romance, it is also a day to enjoy relationships that you have with yourself, your family, your neighbors and the nature that spills unconditional love for all of us.
The spaces we design, the house we live in, our workplace, our safe haven, our go to sanctuary; everything must help in boosting our relationships.
Love Yourself:
When you love yourself, you glow from the inside. You attract people who love, respect and appreciate your energy. Everything starts with how you feel about yourself. Start feeling worthy, valuable and deserving of receiving the best life has to offer!
We all have different passions, interests and hobbies. Each individual has different ways of connecting with our inner self and architecture plays a pivotal role. The space where you work or spend most of your time in, your room, your office, your favorite public place, the cozy corner of your room and every other special place that helps keep you happy, by doing what you love more, making you fall in love with yourself.
Love your Family:
People build their homes with great deal of effort, time, money and dreams. But, does that house keep your family closely knit? Does that house allow every member of your family to interact?
A house/ home for your family, must be designed to bring the family together. Dining spaces must be fun and interactive, Bright and overflowing with positive vibes! A comfortable living space makes people want to sit and enjoy, talk and discuss. Every bedroom must be an extension of its user’s personality, that it should make them come in and sigh in comfort. A place to go to reflect and grow!
At Auroma, we believe that all the spaces in your house must aid in making the bond between families stronger. A bright and vibrant room allows for people to be comfortable and relaxed. More importance is given to living ,dining and gathering spaces than bedrooms. When the space we design is happy, so are the users living in that space. How can we make happy spaces? Just the right amount of light, right amount of temperature, a whole lot of character makes for a happy space.
Love your Neighborhood:
In this fast paced world, we often forget to notice the people around us. People who work with us, people we meet along the way, people who live next door, people who visit us everyday and so on.
Present day boxed neighborhood designs do not allow for social interaction. We build up big walls dividing us from others. We walk around while having our eyes set on our phones, so that we forget the path we walk on.
How can architecture design play in this? Let me tell you how.
Every neighborhood design must allow for interaction with people on different levels. Open spaces with others, lowered compound walls, public parks and terraces allow interaction between people. Offices must be a space for brainstorming and engagements. Open office plans are said to boost working morale compared to closed cabins. Offices/ workspaces must have designated socializing spots like cafeterias, amphitheaters, ample corridor/circulation spaces that allow different people of different departments, circles to come together. Public parks must be vibrant and interesting to look at, while encouraging people to engage with others.
Love the Nature :
Nature has been pouring us with unconditional love with all its elements. Air,water, flora, fauna, land and much more. We take this for granted and abuse our nature in more ways than we can imagine. Architecture being a core in this, makes up for upto 60% in terms of making or breaking our Earth.
We as citizens of the Earth are responsible for all our actions. While the spaces must allow us to connect with nature in literal sense, it should also be designed in a way that takes less and gives more to the very Earth it stands on.
As Sustainable Architects, we believe that our buildings must complement nature and not compete with it. All our projects at Auroma are designed and built to abide by this.
Love all and everything
Yourself | Family | People | Nature
With that note, this valentine’s day, let us start focusing on building our relationships in this same order. Let us build the World around us with this in mind!
“ I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture”
