RH23_is an architectonic response to an individual (the client). With both Constructivist style and Brutalist approach, and theological context, the design is responding to the individual at many levels.
A verse from Katha Upanisad says
"Indriyebhyah param mano mansas sattvam uttamam,
sattvad adhi mahanatma, mahato vyaktam uttamam."
Sloka 07 - Katha Upanishad
Mind stands above the senses; farther on are its intelligences;
The Great self is in the beyond; the obscure Superior surpasses them at yond.
One only realises ones presence and thoughts as significant and worthy if they see the role important they play in the lives around. Just as they choose to be more than just mind, more than intelligences, beyond soul (atman)there lies the unconditional/obscure self; Unknown and waiting. In the same manner the house as the architecture hare is not just its walls, volumes, not the mere imposing form of exposed concrete, beyond the solidarity they seek the presence to resonate with. An architecture of one’s known self, of one who knows the WEIGHT of the lives and life to protect.
Sri Krishna, the mischievous God of the Hindu Mythology, the one who recited the Gta- lifts the Mt. Govardhan when his village is threatened with inevitable flood and continuous drowning rains! He lifts it on his left hand little finger, as if it weighs near to nothing. This is a symbolic reference that one can relate to when it comes to protecting one’s own kith-kin, the load of responsibilities weigh near to nothing. The mythological mountain is nothing but the architecture created in reflection to the person who carries it all, as if it weighs nothing!
