who thinks that I’m wearing traditional
clothes I was told to come in Indian or
westerns formal attire is this Indian
former and Iowa Western omelet I’m okay
but there are some preconceived ideas
about what is heritage and that is why
you see a pond it’s a beautiful pond but
it’s still a pond it’s stationary it’s
it’s their heritage in our minds just
sits there something from the past it’s
a tradition it’s something that doesn’t
change it should be preserved and
conserved as it is is it is that how
heritage will propagate is that how we
will take it forward I like to think
that heritage is like a river but it see
there is a river with large soft ribbons
each of us in this room has an
individual heritage which is very much
our own we are attributed like a stream
of a t-butyl I am a Gujarati so I am
Gujarat attributed the body so extreme
from the body connecting with the
Gujarati limited and I am from a
particular family therefore I’m a little
waterfall entering the tributary which
goes into the river and then you
mentioned in journalism see so let’s
think of heritage for the for a moment
as a very individual identity I think
heritage is an identity it’s not a pond
which means it keeps shifting it keeps
moving as it should
let me ask you another question where do
you think this Ahmedabad heritage is it
on CG road or is it on ESG – everybody
needs a monocoque yes no boy let’s go
certified Ahmedabad is a directed city
but only the world city not the rest of
the so then is the reason for that you
will come to that but let’s look at
Ahmedabad heritage a little further
which of these is not your innovation
are you sure you will you haven’t been
to just again speech ah I’ve had it
since I was a kid it’s as much my
heritage as English you think I’m
speaking in a foreign language to you I
am NOT I am sticking in my language it’s
my heritage I’m wearing clothes which
have evolved from a certain lifestyle
that I live what makes you think I’m
speaking a foreign language yes but then
you would have thought if you were in a
costume and you are out of context in
this place so heritage is also context
so maybe if I go down maybe
though I’m not a toboggan so that we may
be aware language of or something so
maybe some of you recognize this it’s
the path of order so all of you agree
that this is our and it is actually
Islamic heritage the founder of the bath
people may argue a shaman in your
amateur and let’s say for the time being
that much is considered the founder and
Adam comes from there so this is our
architectural heritage though it’s
islamic maybe posted by independence
this is one of the poor houses it’s
about 300 years old
that is considered a vernacular
architecture therefore also our heritage
and a valuable classified certified
category to a building from the market
by the Heritage Committee why keep that
images in mind we’re not to go forward
did anybody recognize this this is the
ACMA building built by a French Swiss
architect called them to do seeing is
that our heritage it is very much is it
valuable heritage yes it is let’s ask
ourselves why later this building of
course would recognize
I am also our heritage because of blue
icon coming here and there’s a whole
story attached to it I’m Management
Association I am just putting some
iconic buildings so that there is a
context there are many other examples
this is also I edited very recent one
maybe you would say as architectural
heritage goes this is a river because if
they are not recognized where it comes
from exactly in the physical sense you
may
from what goes on inside yes it has a
certain tributary character to it
because it’s in Ahmedabad now this is SG
highway this is the C this is the C but
it is our heritage
it’s tomorrow’s heritage or rather it
was built available so is also now part
of my and it is whether I like it or not
but it has suddenly lost except when you
go inside and see because we work there
then you understand moving past it it
could be anywhere so modern heritage or
what we are leaving for the future is
things like this this is the latest
example the Hyatt building it could be
anywhere in the world which means we
have reached the sea what has happened
is that in our life you know in the
whole internet communication self whole
world we have moved to the sea and
forgotten our tributon and then for all
of us dress alike speak alike maybe not
think alike not yet but the younger
generation is losing touch with the
tributary certainly losing touch with
the street many of you probably cannot
read Gujarati if you are you driving now
let’s look at what I have been doing for
20 years so this is building from the
early 20th century the whole city from
the bath this is related to the work
that I do since the last 20 years
talking about valuable heritage
this finding was in a state of disrepair
those of you who the whole city will
know is the state of disrepair so I
decided with the help of my father we do
we stick life in this building
essentially we are not trying to make it
upon not like to preserve it make it a
fossil not at all we’re trying to revive
it adaptively reuse it this is
example of how discover yourselves
actually so in redoing this building for
the last 20 years I am essentially
rediscovered myself by also doing some
other properties or there are some
photos of the interior is nothing like
what my great-grandfather listened from
the backside we lived it but this is how
the building looks now it is
contemporary
it is now join the stream and may be
moving towards the river but there are
remnants very much apparent of the
review left that’s an example a swing
which reminds me it reminds the people
who come there that they are in Java
this is the whole city you would know
that this is in the center of the world
there is it City this is the bedroom
another we have all youngsters have to
identify recognize what is there may be
dead to be able to understand who they
are there is a great risk of being
sucked into homogeneity and becoming an
unidentified individual who cannot be
distinguished from another individual
this is the real danger which causes all
kinds of psychological trauma going
forward in life because then you are
lost in the sea you are just another
fish if you want to be a recognizable
fish you need to have an identity of
your own it has nothing to do with
making money it has nothing to do with
success it is to do will discover in
yourself an indication should very much
be part of discovering who you are
success what we call success how much
money we make is secondly how to be a
good human being how to contribute to
the planet by perpetuate perpetuating
heritage which is valuable for the
future generation is something that we
have to think about so when I finish
this and I raise
and I spent 20th at her what do I do
next I am real still life in a world
finding and created something which
people enjoy now what next
so not a night Missa Honda I thought
that let me create heritage which will
add value you give me the speed-up I’ve
done with particulate I remember my to
do that but I am now in the see what’s
going on and I need to compete on the
world stage so what do I do next which
has a context which is very much to do
with my intangibles with my feelings and
what I have got that my values and yet
it makes an impact in design and
whatever I be doing and that’s a little
project I’ll share with you that we are
doing this is rethinking luxury
rethinking living where we do not at all
this is a this is a villa of the future
that we are designed where you do not
leave a single footprint on the ground
you do not disturb the ground that you
work on it is flat pack modular and it
can be removed or can be brought in
within a month you can have a house in a
month this is going to be a hotel and a
small one to start with but this is just
to give you an example of how to create
your own heritage and I would like that
perhaps all of you start thinking about
creating your own heritage
make sure you perpetuate this is another
little example of what we are trying to
do and not an organization called stress
foundation which is the school of
Mississippi and this is what it looks
like
we think that development is not about
building building buildings development
is about instilling heritage into the
property so we are building we are
planting trees we planted many trees in
the last six months in this property it
is carbon negative it’s another carbon
there is not even covered in trill and
soon it will be 100% energy of energy
self-sufficient this property which is a
28 acre plot in the middle of Ahmedabad
so this is the one way of contributing
for perpetuating my heritage I think
that all of us need to recognize where
we come from we need to recognize who we
are individually that will help us
discover and open doors to everyone to
go without that you are lost you’re just like a floating leaf in the ocean
clothes I was told to come in Indian or
westerns formal attire is this Indian
former and Iowa Western omelet I’m okay
but there are some preconceived ideas
about what is heritage and that is why
you see a pond it’s a beautiful pond but
