Architecture has evolved over centuries of experimentation; and in this process it has generated innumerous patterns that are very intrinsic to human beings and their needs. But as these needs (from the built space) constantly change with time, it becomes evident that the built environments also change alongside to support them well and holistically. However, it has to be noted that these changes in the built environments cannot be mistaken with life-giving processes that have developed over the centuries. So, one should consider these processes while generating any built environment and make use of these ‘traditional and humanistic’ patterns to give life to the structures.

For a better understanding on the subject, one can look at it this way - The core (Traditional Humanistic Patterns) of the system/building structure is made from centuries-old processes and experimentation that generate life. And only the peripheral fringes of this core are kept flexible that change with the time. These peripheral fringes can also be identified as Architectural Styles that are unique to each time period in the history of architectural evolution. But the true core of architecture has remained intact - only slowly evolving with time. This core of architecture comes into the transition of evolution, only when a peripheral pattern is able to bring about a life pattern to the building process. If this peripheral fringe (Architectural Style) is able to generate life in a repeated manner, it eventually becomes part of the core (thus evolving it in the process) and is then transferred to the next time period.

Chaukor Studio

At Chaukor Studio, we strive to generate such patterns and environments that support and revitalize the living processes taking place inside the buildings’ structures. These patterns are thus generated from the core and not through peripheral fringes; so that they have the capacities to evolve into various architectural styles and tend to the various needs of the times.

We call it – Regenerative Architecture.
