A PHENOMOLOGICAL APPROACH
Phenomenology, a philosophical movement originating in the
20th century, the primary objective of which is the direct
investigation and description of phenomena as consciously
experienced, without theories about their causal explanation
and as free as possible from unexamined preconceptions and
presuppositions.
PROCESS OF DESIGN
Just like music culture and geography do have an effect on the design outcome
A raga and a building both are compositon of components. It is a kit for building up of raga or a building and also having an ascending and
descending order.
Any period of time components are same for both the art forms.
Rules are there but not a mechano. Variations are there. This applies to both music and architecture. As there is classical music there is
classical architecture.
Yes. When we design in traditional arch or modern architecture there is a system wherein basic standards are there.There is an
incremental change in the structure keeping the main frame same the expression changes but ordering is same. The structure
changed gradually which suits the context. Variations are done in decorative elements.
100% parallel in architecture.
Ideas, start designing, set principles, implementation, practical aspects, and maintenance. Without changing the original set rules
changes can be made during implementation.
It can be done from concept to working drawing stage.But while constructing very minor changes can be done.
Prima facia a strong connection is seen.
Yes very much similar. In music ---the raga picture is conceptualized in the artist mind -personcentric, way of looking at the raga,
environment, concept.In architecture with different ideas, designing is done with set principles, followed by implementation
taking into account practical aspects and maintenance factors. Without changing the original set rules changes can be made
during implementation. The structure changed gradually which suits the context. Variations are done in decorative elements .
INFLUENCE OF TRAINING
Is there some similarity with reference to scale size between buildings and
musical composition?
This cannot be an analogy.It depends on how you comprehend a building.
Badakhayal is like acomplex, campuswherinurban design, openspace, clustering, environment, larger concerns are addressed.
Chotakhayal is like a building.- a gist of entire expression.
In 3min – entire raga can be explained as Villa savoye, Ronchampe are small buildingsbut will take time to comprehend. Scale won’t matter.
Intensity of the factors that create effects of complexity and beauty is what matters.
Tajmahal-the structure of a very big scale can be in experienced in small time. Whereas in Fatehpursikri it takes more time as the enriching
factors are much more.
Ajantha caves- not seen in one go. Time also plays role- rainy,summer.
How component parts are disposed. Articulation.
Music- experience while performing.Architecture – after
Both art are experience
PARALLELS IN STRUCTURE
AND COMPONENTS
What are the aesthetic components that are part of both the art forms
Very nice parallel.
Bracket is a functional as well as decorative element. The design of the bracket varies contextually. In Temple, wada the structural material is
black basalt whereas inHaveli, temple in rajasthan the structural material is marble.
As per the tradition and culture the composition changes.
Yes.
Column structural element - Doric column (decorative element.)
Single note – khatka(decorative element)
Yes they can be related.
Architecture-speed of construction
Executing agencies – architect is coordinator.
Message – leave thoughts outside and concentrate on the worship of deity inside.
