ATRIUM TALKS WITH :
Ar. Neelkanth Chhaya on 26th July 2019, Friday.
He has spent his entire life in CEPT like a “Rushi”.
We are all normal people struggling with our life, either happy or unhappy.
I really like the fact you do so many site visits, you present your work, which is very important!
What is a teacher ?
In “t e ch r” “ch e t r” if interchanged.
What does it need to be a student?
St u de nt - stu dio.
What is a studio? What is it to study?
What is the act of studentship?
What does practicing mean?
When child is young, you give him a ball, he starts playing. When a ball doesn’t touch the bat the child doesn’t start crying, the child is fully aware that there will be problems and I will keep on trying to hit it.
So as a student if you don’t find yourself in that state, then start doubting yourself if you are one.
Mastering ones own equipment is the hallmark of studentship.
As a kid you were made to rote learning, but it made you remember it forever.
Some of the things in architecture are of that kind like you never forget riding a bicycle, eg. sketching.
10000 hrs of practice is required to learn an art. Is your mind and body engaging with the tools ?
This field has a lot of suffering!
What are the rewards of studentship?
It’s time that this generation was reminded of the tough times.
You have to learn to build the body of an architect.
When have you felt elated?
When you get the realisation of the unexpected result!
“The student is entitled to joy not pleasure.
Joy comes out of your own doing, pleasure comes out of others appreciation!”
Would you like to continue to call yourself a student ?
Teachers ask the right question to the student, and give them the satisfaction of getting the answer by themselves.
The students are the teachers and it’s vice versa.
The students stimulate the teacher!
By doing something which is of such evident sincerity!
In roman ships 50 men pulling the ores, and only one man doing the steering, who was taking the boat forward?
This relationship is the most wonderful relationship that exists.
A school is a partnership!
Studentship must be inhabited in all of us.
What happens in coliving?
The joint family culture is commonly portrayed in a rich manner on Indian television series/movies.The entire notion of family disintegration is wrong.Coliving is a western concept , and its necessity isn't really applicable in an Indian context.
Spaces in wadas are commonly segregated in terms of wet areas or dry areas ; not by any other categories.
What is empowerment ?
The process of empowerment is to root ourselves in simple reality!
Empowerment isn't something that is given , it is acquired by default. Youth empowerment is currently being given a lot of importance in our country.
