The visit to Donga Gali was a crucial site visit for the architects, focusing on three under-construction mountain houses. SRDW’s commitment to providing site visits ensures architects gain valuable expertise, understanding the project’s context and practical considerations.
Donga Gali’s picturesque mountain landscape provides a unique backdrop for the houses. Architects immerse themselves in the breathtaking surroundings, influencing their design integration with the environment. This experiential learning opportunity allows them to appreciate the site’s nuances, including topography, vegetation, and views, guiding their design decisions.
On-site, architects witness construction progress firsthand, observing techniques, structural elements, and design implementation. This hands-on experience bridges theory and practice, honing technical skills and problem-solving abilities.
SRDW’s site visits extend over several days, enabling architects to fully immerse themselves. They explore the surroundings, engage with the local community, and observe the interaction of natural elements with the built environment. This holistic approach fosters deeper contextual understanding and facilitates sustainable design integration.
Recognizing the importance of team dynamics and work-life balance, SRDW incorporates fun and relaxation into the visits. Architects unwind, socialize, strengthen bonds, and foster camaraderie. This balanced experience stimulates creativity and rejuvenates their passion for the craft.
