Gaav Bhraman

The immediate goal of URVEE is to help villagers make the best use of government housing schemes, leveraging the use of local material resources and sustainable building techniques whilst preserving the cultural essence of the village. To derive a rational solution, URVEE team documented, studied, analyzed traditional structures and simultaneously evaluated recently built houses in certain villages of Pune District.

‘गावभ्रमण’ चा हेतू

महात्मा गांधीजींनी अगदी योग्य म्हटले आहे, “गावे नष्ट झाली, तर भारताचाही नाश होईल. तो भारत राहणार नाही. जगातील त्याचे स्वतःचे ध्येय नष्ट होईल.” आज भारतातील गावांनी त्यांची 80% पारंपारिक वैशिष्ट्ये गमावली आहेत. या सांस्कृतिक वारशाचे दस्तऐवजीकरण आणि संवर्धन करणे ही काळाची गरज आहे. पारंपारिक प्रथा पिढ्यानपिढ्या विकसित झाल्या आहेत आणि काळाच्या कसोटीवर खऱ्या उतरल्या आहेत. भविष्यातील बांधकामांसाठी प्रभावी पर्यावरणपूरक उपाय प्राप्त करण्यासाठी पारंपारिक वास्तुकलेच्या तुलनेत आधुनिक पद्धतींचे विश्लेषण, सरकारी गृहनिर्माण योजनांचे मूल्यमापन महत्त्वाचे आहे. गावभ्रमणामधून आम्ही लाभार्थ्यांकडून आधुनिक विरुद्ध पारंपरिक घरांच्या अनुभवाविषयी जाणून घेणार
