PRACTICE
Ecology .. rather human ecology
Where beads of earth, air, forest, land and energy are woven together,
Rather purposed by what we have in abundance,
the human
The karigar, the mazdoor and paas ke gaav wale.
Altogether re-purposing, reclaiming, rethinking
Soil, Wood and Ways of building respectively.
Employing the skill of some, rather their way of life
while observing them optimize their indigenous matter till its last bit
and eventually transferring the same to many
and blurred boundaries of theirs and ours
Ignoring the drawing board for a while
But identifying opportunities of intervening where it matters.
It is an interdisciplinary and collaborative practice that consciously attempts to engage with place, matter and space with a holistic, ecologically sensitive and contextually appropriate approach that is fresh yet rooted.
Inquisitive about the larger picture, while interested in the smallest thing that materializes, the practice finds itself naturally extending its arms to landscape and interior/product design to serve a versatile range of clients.
doro is a young practice that consciously seeks more dialogues, hands and opportunities to grow and evolve!
