About competition:
The intent of the project is to create new centres of learning for crafts and a space where this legacy can be taken forth through instruction and hands on experience. What is expected of the design is a statement on the very idea of teaching crafts. To conceptualize a space for learning which addresses the need for design intervention is a learning space.
