Holistic Villages Pune, A tangible dream

This five days intensive  workshop titled ‘HOLISTIC VILLAGES’  was  conducted at BNCA campus. The workshop was guided by Dr Laura P. Spinadel and her team of professional associates from Vienna along with a specialised team of BNCA professors. This unique opportunity was to help the students to gain a different perspective towards shaping and planning holistic societies.

“This international collaboration will encourage the young minds to achieve change of paradigms which require holistic education,” informed Kashyap. Dr Laura is very spirited woman. Conversing with her takes you to a different level of understanding of the new approaches towards sustainable designs.

“We created a space for freedom, choices and different ways of thinking at the WU Campus. It is an open system, during the day, night, summer, winter. We had to create a big urban plan, a space for 30,000 university people, in addition to all the people from the surrounding areas, all of the visitors. We wanted them to be curious. If we didn’t arrive at the point where everyone had a relationship with the space it would have been a problem. Plus we had to build it in the city where children don’t play on the streets and such a simple thing it leaving our mindset” Story by Prachi Bari for desijam, India
