Produktbeschreibung

A craft is a branch of profession that requires some particular kind of skilled work. In historical sense, particularly as pertinent to the Medieval history and earlier, the term is usually applied towards people occupied in small-scale production of goods. The meaning of craft and its values are ever-changing with development of new techniques and methods. Craft's village is a one-stop craft destination which offers visitors a unique variety of craft-related activities and programs. In this village, visitors will learn about Nepali handicraft through craft demonstrations & hands-on interactive sessions and it also accommodates various trading units. This project intends to design spaces with forms and functions to foster the development of crafts that Nepal is known for. The art and craft gallery displays wide collections of handicraft products based on time-honoured Nepali traditions. The core concept of the Craft's village is education and highlighting the craft heritage of Nepal and local handicraft production technologies. This project has opted for Newari Architecture- a traditional principle in architectural design and adopts character of a traditional settlement(tole).
